Heber Valley-Worth a Second Look.

by DavisFamilyofHeber

However much Heber City has grown in the last few ten years, I have since moved away and moved back; my used to be little town was mostly for farmers. Now, because of the Olympic arrival in 2002, people felt it productive to spend spend spend and build many little useless shops on main street. Because I now live here, close to my family, so that I can help my aging mother and father (I am in no way a farmer, but a city girl myself), I find the surrounding mountains (CASCADE SPRINGS) to be my source of artistic inspiration and I hike with my 3 yr old everyday in the summer. I even taught my daughter how to swim at the Homestead Resort, indoor and outdoor pools. My husband has decided to learn to SCUBADIVE at the Homestead Crater, which is extremely tall and has a many caverns under the naturally heated volcanic water inside the crater which is accessable at ground level.

by GUYON

Be aware at the car insurance. The insurance provided by several rent a car Cies with a 4WD applies after the personal insurance which is a current practice in USA but not in Europe. It is a serious trap because :- the parks are not so uninhabited they seem,- the Rent a Car Cies don't give information,- a liable accident in USA can cost more than a luxurius holiday.

Just watch out for all the tourist shops. I mean, I admit, I'll go in and pick up a postcard and shot glass, and maybe something else, but ugh... there's still a lot of junk in these places. The worst I saw in Utah was in Bryce. Moab has its share, but generally the shops were nicer here, like art galleries and such.

by joytravel

Most gift shops are traps. Try Rock Shops instead. We bought a magnificent stone carving (Indian pueblo) at a Rock Shop on Rt 9 in La Verkin (Utah). In most gift shops we saw a price tag of $150. At the rock shop we got it for $35.

by KLomaskin

This olympic track is designed for speed skating, but the public sessions allow you to wear figure skates or hockey skates too. The track is so large, there is a hockey rink in the middle of it, and room for another! Public sessions cost $4 and skate rentals are $2. Olympic souveniers are available on site at the pro shop.

by Michael_D

UTAH is a state where it almost doesnt need to designate parkland as the entire state seems like one big national park. This shot was taken simply when we stopped at a rest area on the interstate highway.

by Mikelut

Saltaire at the South Shore of the Great Salt Lake is disappointing. If you want to go to the Great Salt Lake, take the Antelope Island Causeway to Antelope Island. It's a much more plesant experience, and there are buffalo and bird watching opportunities on the island. It's a great place to take your mountain bike.

Heber City!

by TracyG

Avoid Heber City if you can. There is nothing here that is of interest. The only thing it has going for it, is that it is close to Provo Canyon. Have a walk around town. Head straight for Provo Canyon.

Utah and alcohol!

by Roeffie

Watch out with alcohol in this state. Utah and alcohol are opposite to eachother. The laws on use of alcoholic drinks are very strict!They are not as liberal as Europe is about alcohol.

Don't give your name and address at the Mormon Temple if you don't want to receive the visit of a missionary at home.
