AdventureModerateSpringSummerYear-round
Rent a side-by-side or ATV to explore miles of rugged mountain trails that offer sweeping views of the Heber Valley floor.
Itinerary tips
- 1Book your machine rental in advance from outfitters in Midway to ensure availability during peak weekends.
- 2Plan for a four-hour rental to reach the higher elevation ridge lines and return comfortably without rushing.
- 3Bring a neck gaiter or bandana and eye protection to manage the significant dust kicked up on the lower trails.
- 4Pack a light jacket even in summer, as temperatures drop noticeably as you climb toward the Cascade Springs area.
- 5Download offline trail maps like Avenza or OnX Offroad, as cellular service is intermittent once you enter the canyons.
- 6Stop at the Wasatch Mountain State Park visitor center to purchase your required day-use vehicle permit before hitting the trailheads.
