Itinerary tips

- 2Arrive at the Heber Valley Railroad depot 30 minutes early to ensure time for parking in the adjacent dirt lot and checking in at the ticket window.
- 3Dress in layers or bring a light jacket, as the vintage train cars are ventilated and can get chilly even on sunny autumn days.
- 4Plan for a total duration of 90 minutes, which includes the 40-minute round-trip train ride and time at the pumpkin patch.
- 5Bring a small tote bag to easily carry the pumpkin each passenger receives at the end of the excursion.
- 6Choose seats on the right side of the train when departing the station for the best views of the Provo River and Mount Timpanogos.
