Day 3 - Heber Valley Railroad
Inspiring views of Provo Canyon, the Wasatch Mountains, and
Utah's colorful landscapes are on display during our ride on the
Heber Valley Railroad. This historical train's route was first
implemented in the 1800s, providing an essential passage through
Provo Canyon. Its slow pace through the difficult terrain earned it
the nickname the "Heber Creeper," which the train retains to this
day. Excellent photo opportunities abound during our leisurely
adventure along the Provo River, with a special highlight coming as
the Heber Creeper approaches Mount Timpanogos. While riding in
fully restored historic cars, soak in the timeless atmosphere
created by the landscape and the vintage train.
The remainder of your day is at leisure in Provo. Downtown is a
fantastic place to explore on foot, with its historic buildings and
plethora of art and activities. Provo is a thriving college town
with a diverse culinary scene, plenty of inviting boutique shops,
and excellent nightlife. There are art galleries and museums,
including a paleontology museum at Brigham Young University. All of
this is wrapped in a spectacular snowy mountainous backdrop that
serves as a promise of the adventures to come. Overnight Provo,
UT.
