During the summer, Screamin Coupons had a sweet deal for the Heber Valley Railroad. So we jumped at the chance to go.
It was an absolutely beautiful day with clouds that looked like they were airbrushed in the sky. The temperature was a little nippy but very pleasant. The girls enjoyed riding in the inside cabin on the way out of town. They drew most of the way and had a great time playing around. On the way home, Jade fell asleep and Ivy made new friends. (Cause that is what she does).
It was a three hour round trip ride. We started out in Heber and went down Vivian Park in Provo Canyon. They gave us a few minutes off the train while they turned the engine around. Then we headed back to Heber. The girls thought it was really cool and worth doing.
If you are ever in Utah, you should give it a try. By the way, they have a fun Halloween ride and a neat Christmas ride (or so I’ve been told).

***PS – I met Screamin Coupons while attending CBC. I am signed up as an affiliate but I paid for my screamin coupon deals for the HBVRR. And several other deals. I’m addicted. Just thought I’d mention it. Better safe than sorry. 🙂
oh, wow – how scenic! I’m glad your kids had such a good time! I’d love to take a train ride like that once mine are older.
What fun! We love taking train rides!
I have never done the train, but I should put it on my list!
