Heber Valley Railway





























On Thursday 27th December we headed into the mountains for a 2 day break and the first stop prior to checking in at Daniels Summit Lodge was at Heber Valley Railway which is at 7500ft up in the Heber Valley. The journey from Heber Valley to Provo Canyon and back takes 3 hours and passes through some of the most beautiful scenery i have ever seen. Look out on the photographs for some Bald Eagles and also for Mount Timpanougos which at 11,750 ft is the highest mountain in the area and was climbed by Fraser and Leslie this summer. The train is very old and we were fortunate to sit in a car with a stove to keep us nice and warm. There was also an open area which provided us with a great opportunity for photographs but was very, very cold.
