Heber City Travel Information
Heber City is a midsize town of 7,000 situated in a farming valley
between the Wasatch and Uinta mountain ranges. In summer, it serves as
a convenient stop for travelers exploring the Wasatch Mountains. In
winter, it not only serves as a relatively inexpensive bedroom
community for skiers from the town of Park City and from Sundance Ski
Resort, but has many snowy activities of its own.
Heber City is a recreational playground for everyone. Snowmobiling,
skiing (both downhill and cross-country), horseback riding, mountain
biking, camping, golfing, boating, hot air ballooning, water sports
and even scuba diving are all readily done here. The Provo River cuts
through the heart of the valley and boasts some of best Utah fishing
out there, attracting fly fishermen from around the country.
There are many unique attractions in the area, including the
historic Heber Valley Railroad, the Homestead Crater's 90° mineral
water, which makes scuba diving possible, Soldier Hollow's day lodge
and trails that provided a home for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games
biathlon and cross-country skiing events. There are also three
reservoirs, four ski resorts, three national forests and state parks
within an hour's drive.
Heber is located on Highway 40, about 18 miles south of Park City
and 16 miles southwest of Kamas on the edge of the Uintas. Heber City
has numerous motels, several restaurants/cafes and lots of
restaurants, both fast food and fine dining. View
