This four-hour loop threads Park City's Olympic legacy with the agricultural pulse of Heber Valley and the geothermal oddity of Midway’s crater. The Midway Crater is North America’s only naturally warm, fully enclosed volcanic basin—water hovers around 90°F year-round, a feature local Ute people knew long before settlers arrived. Nearby, the Heber Valley Dairy runs a small-scale cheese operation where visitors see curd to wheel and sample fresh alpine-style cheeses (note: the farm is closed for tours on Sundays).
The route skirts Jordanelle State Park, where lake arms cut into mountain slopes and bald eagles and migrating waterfowl can be seen from roadside pullouts. Zermatt Swiss Village offers a quick cultural pivot—Swiss-style bakery treats and a mix of western and alpine furnishings. At Park City’s Olympic Park you’ll pass the bobsled and luge training track and the Olympic Museum; trainers are often on-site during the winter training window.
Practicalities: tours depart at 10:00 AM from inside Wasatch Bagel, last about four hours, and include bottled water, snacks and private transportation. The itinerary is wheelchair accessible but request a wheelchair lift in advance. Bring sturdy walking shoes for cobbled Main Street, sun protection for the lakeside viewpoints, and a swimsuit if you plan to upgrade to the 40-minute soak at the crater. Weather changes fast in the high basin—layer up and plan for bright sun or a sudden mountain breeze.

The region relies on sensitive water and grazing ecosystems—stay on marked paths, pack out waste, and support local farms and responsible operators to minimize impact.
