Explore the Midway Memorial Hill
ScenicEasySpringSummerFall
Take a short, spiraling walk to the top of this historic mound for a 360-degree view of the entire green valley.
Itinerary tips
- 1Plan for about 30 to 45 minutes to complete the spiraling paved walk and spend time reading the veterans' memorials at the summit.
- 2Access the trailhead via River Road in Midway, where you will find a small gravel parking area that does not require any permits or fees.
- 3Wear light walking shoes or sneakers, as the path is fully paved but features a steady incline as it circles the hill.
- 4Bring a camera or binoculars to capture the unobstructed 360-degree views of the Wasatch Mountain State Park and Mount Timpanogos.
- 5Combine this visit with a stop at the nearby Homestead Crater for a soak, as the two locations are less than five minutes apart.
- 6Visit during the golden hour just before sunset to see the 'Swiss Alps of Utah' glow against the green valley floor.
