When is the last time you enjoyed a day doing something fun, alone or with the family? A ride on a historic train is one that you’re never going to forget. The question is, which one will you choose? There are plenty of adventures to be had here, so mark down this railroad on your bucket list for plenty of future road trips.
Welcome to today's adventure, a ride on one of Utah's historic trains at Heber Valley Railroad.
Train rides at Heber Valley vary from scenic routes of three varying seasonal options. Choose between a spring and summertime mountain to reservoir view, a fall and winter lakeside run, or the year-round Deer Creek Express. Some of these train rides also have boxed lunches available, for the full experience.
If your idea of fun lends itself to the whimsical, you might love one of the themed trains. Whether that's Star Wars, princesses and pirates, or classic rock, there's always a costume day coming up to enjoy. There's even a Polar Express night!
Or, you can choose one of the Old West days, and you might meet the Heber Creeper Train Gang. The Cowboy Train includes an old West-style gunfight as well as the train ride, so you can enjoy the whole experience.
The vintage train cars and the gorgeous 360-degree views on the ride are a great way to spend an evening. Train lovers of any age are going to love this unique experience that we're slowly losing to time.
