• Heber Valley Artisan Cheese: Originally a farming community, this 100-year-old active dairy pays homage to the town’s heritage. Known now for its award-winning cheeses, the dairy also offers daily farm tours and monthly cheese tasting and cheese making classes.
• Historic Heber Valley Railroad: This slower-paced, family-friendly train ride runs along the scenic Deer Creek path – the same train route used in the 1800s to ship goods and materials, as well as transport valley residents. Through preservation efforts, several locomotives have been restored for use in this enjoyable activity. Scenic train rides depart multiple times a day and event-themed trains run throughout the year.

• Pristine Lakes: Three large lake reservoirs sit within the valley boundaries and provide ample space for water recreation, including fishing, boating, kayaking, sailing, and kite surfing. Due to the close mountain proximity, many outdoor enthusiasts can do a water sport in the morning, enjoy a healthy lunch, then be on the mountain for the afternoon.
