The Heber Valley is the seat of Wasatch County and lies 25 miles to the south of Park City, accessed via State Hwy. 40/189. This broad, open valley includes Heber City, Midway, Charleston, and Daniel and is flanked by the majestic Mt. Timpanogos on its southwestern edge and Jordanelle Reservoir on the north. It is surrounded by the 2,000,000-acre Uinta Mountains to the east and south.
The Provo River, a world renowned blue-ribbon fly-fishing destination, winds its way through the western side of the valley as it flows from Jordanelle Reservoir to Deer Creek Reservoir and offers seven designated angler-access parking areas. While popular with fly fishers, these access points also provide lovely hiking opportunities for both humans and canines.
According to 2018 U.S. Census Bureau data, Wasatch County is the third-fastest growing county in the United States. Heber City was ranked as the fastest growing ‘micropolitan’ city in America. With median pricing below that of Park City proper, this area is a more affordable option for many, and a sizable percentage of the population commutes to Park City, Provo, and Salt Lake City.
