Hit the links at one of five award winning golf courses in the area, each one with its own unique scenery and challenges. Would your family rather spend time on the water? If so, then head for Deer Creek Reservoir where they can frolic all day long on the lake enjoying water skiing, riding wave runners, or throwing out a line to catch some fish. Heber Valley is a hiker’s paradise with mountains, wildflower meadows, forested canyons, rocky ridges, and endless waterfalls, lakes, and streams. Winter visitors will be delighted to find nearby Soldier Hollow which offers the longest tubing lanes in Utah. The hill has 1,200-foot sliding lanes with lift service for towing people up the hill for tubing day or night under the lights. Deer Valley and Sundance ski resorts are both nearby, offering skiing and snowboarding in the winter. I know my kids would love to go there any time of year!
