mount timpanogos watches over our valley.
The legend of Mount Timpanogos
A long, long time ago, the Uintah Indians lived by a beautiful silver lake. The lake abounded in fish which the tribe would dry and store for future use. Eventually, the tribe accumulated more
dried fish than they needed.
Far to the North, there lived another tribe of Indians called the Nez Perce. One year there was no rain and many of the Nez Perce died from famine. To save his people, Timpanac, the leader’s son, went to pray to The Great Spirit and was told to go south where he’d find a tribe to sell him food.
After many days, Timpanac came to the Uintahs’ lake. The leader treated Timpanac kindly and was willing to exchange dried fish for rich furs. In the leader’s teepee, Timpanac saw Ucanogos, a beautiful Indian maiden. When Timpanac returned home, he gave Ucanogos a beaded headband. In return, she gave him a pair of gloves.
When Ucanogos was old enough to marry she asked her father to hold a contest for all braves who wished to marry her. Ucanogos sent a runner to tell Timpanac to come.
In order to marry Ucanogos, the assembled braves were required to climb to the top of a mountain where Ucanogos waited. The first to reach her could claim her as his bride.
When Timpanac reached the steepest place on the mountain, the other braves were waiting for him. They pushed Timpanac over a ledge where he fell to his death. Ucanogos saw what happened, wept great tears and vowed they would never stop falling. A wall of tears still falls down this canyon—now named Bridal Veil Falls.
She then threw herself off the mountain, praying to The Great Spirit to take her soul and join it with Timpanac’s. The Great Spirit was so saddened by these events he joined their hearts together as one to hang forever in Timpanogos Cave, and he set the Indian Maiden on the mountain top for eternity. Those who travel through Provo Canyon can clearly see her features. The name Timpanogos combines the names of the ill-fated lovers: Timpanac and Ucanogos.

The Heber Valley Railroad’s history began in 1899 when trains carried livestock down the canyon to Utah Valley. In the 1970s, the renamed “Heber Creeper,” became a tourist passenger train
transporting thousands of visitors around the valley. The Heber Valley Railroad is reminiscent of the typical short-line railway that could be seen historically throughout rural America during the golden years of U.S. railroading.
Today, diesel electric locomotives pull vintage and restored coaches through the beautiful Heber Valley. The track runs through the lush Heber Valley, along the shore overlooking Deer Creek Reservoir and through the beautiful forested Provo canyon.
The Heber Valley Railroad has several scenic excursions, adventure trains, dinner trains and special events year-round. The scenic trains include breathtaking scenery of Heber Valley’s natural landscape, the beautiful Deer Creek Reservoir, and the majestic Provo Canyon/Provo River. If you want more adventure with your train ride combine it with a rafting trip down the Provo River, horseback riding through the countryside or zip-lining down Provo Canyon’s steep inclines!

E ach winter, Heber Valley, nestled between the Wasatch and Uinta mountains, receives an abundance of Utah’s famous champagne powder snow. With world-class resorts just minutes away and great
cross-country trails everywhere else, the valley is the capital of Utah skiing!
Whether you prefer the peaceful solitude of flat-track skiing on a mountain trail, skate-skiing on a groomed track, or carving turns down an untracked mountain slope, you’ll find what you’re looking for.
DOWNHILL SKIING At the northernmost end of the Heber Valley is the mile-long high speed Jordanelle Express Gondola—part of the prestigious Deer Valley Resort, ranked #1 by SKI magazine readers five years in a row. Eleven Deer Valley ski runs lie within Heber Valley’s boundaries. One run and you’ll understand why the Deer Valley Resort and Utah powder are world famous.
At the southernmost end of the valley you will find Robert Redford’s renowned Sundance Resort. Ranked 2nd in Conde Nast Travler’s reader’s poll for Top 50 U.S. Mainland Resorts 2007, Sundance is truly a hidden gem—small enough to offer a uniquely intimate experience, yet challenging for all range of skiers and snowboarders with a vertical drop of 2,150 feet.
CROSS COUNTRY SKIING The mountains and valleys here offer world-class skiing. The Soldier Hollow and Wasatch Mountain State Park complexes are the valley’s most popular cross-country skiing destinations. Soldier Hollow was one of the busiest venues during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games with 18 events, including six biathlon events, ten cross-country events, and two skiing portions of Nordic combined.

experience one of North America's greatest blue-ribbon trout streams.
page 14 | Utah’s Backyard Adventure
M eandering through the middle of the Heber Valley, and famous for its blue-ribbon fly fishing, you’ll find the Provo River. The Provo River originates high in the Uinta Mountains
and works its way down the mountains to be collected at the Jordanelle and Deer Creek reservoirs before arriving at its final destination, Utah Lake.
The Provo River is primarily a fly-fishing stream and is one of the most popular in Utah. Anglers can be found year-round trying their luck on the lower Provo River below Deer Creek Dam. Long stretches of flat water give anglers an excellent chance of catching good-sized brown, rainbow and cutthroat trout.
For dedicated anglers, fishing doesn’t end when the lakes freeze over. The reservoirs that surround Heber Valley (Strawberry Reservoir, Deer Creek Reservoir, Jordanelle Reservoir) develop a thick sheet of ice during winter and offer some fantastic ice fishing opportunities. Both the middle and lower sections of the Provo River offer year-round fly fishing due to the consistent water temperatures released from the dams. As an added bonus Heber Valley winters have a large number of sunny, warm days so there is no excuse to miss an exciting day out on the water.

bubbles up from the ground and cascades over travertine terraces and pools while all kinds of wildlife, including otters, beavers, deer, moose and elk gather to drink.
A trail system winds its way through the springs, consisting of paved paths, raised boardwalks and wooden bridges to protect the delicate ecosystem. Crystal clear waters
make it easy to spot the native trout that inhabit these pools. Signs along the pathways explain the geology of this natural wonder.

A ten-thousand-year-old hot spring: The Crater
O ne of the most unique hot springs pools in the world is found at the Homestead Resort in Midway. Affectionately known as “The Crater,” this geothermal spring is hidden
within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock.
Over 10,000 years in the making, The Crater formed when melting snow from the mountains seeped deep within the earth and was heated. As the water percolated upward, it picked up minerals which were deposited on the surface, forming the volcano-shaped limestone deposit.
Visitors can swim, enjoy a therapeutic soak, take a paddleboard yoga class or even scuba dive in the deep clear waters of the Crater. The Crater is the only warm water scuba diving destination in the continental US and attracts many diving enthusiasts year-round from all over the world.
Open: Year-round
