You might remember this train from your childhood, back when it was the Heber Creeper. Now it's the Heber Valley Railroad, and its bigger and better than ever, with several scenic routes and tons of special events.
The Deer Creek Express is a 90-minute ride. You'll pass through the rural Heber Valley, enjoying views of farms and barns, with the mountains in the distance.
Monday nights are the best time to ride, especially if you're planning a big family event. Arrive at the train depot at 6:40 pm to see a Wild West gunfight.
Then, hop aboard the train for a 90-minute trip to Deer Creek Reservoir and back. Participate in the sing-a-longs during your ride, munch on some discounted snacks, and enjoy special pricing on Monday nights - just $8 per person, or $35 for up to six passengers.
