ScenicEasySpringSummerYear-round
Walk or drive up this circular hill dedicated to veterans to gain a 360-degree vantage point of the entire Heber Valley and Wasatch Mountain Range.
Itinerary tips

- 2Allocate 30 to 45 minutes to leisurely walk the spiral path to the summit and read the commemorative plaques.

- 4Carry binoculars to spot the historic Heber Valley Railroad train or wildlife moving through the nearby Provo River corridor.
- 5Visit during the 'Golden Hour' just before sunset to see the Wasatch mountains glow in deep orange and purple hues.
- 6Ensure your camera is ready for the panoramic shot of the 'Swiss Alps of Utah' framed by the nearby Timpanogos massif.
