Official visitor information ↗

Wasatch Mountain State Park covers more than 20,000 acres of mountains and valleys above Midway. Summer brings hiking, mountain biking and golf on the park’s Mountain and Lake courses, while fall turns the hillsides red and gold with maple and aspen.

In winter, Soldier Hollow, an Olympic venue from 2002, offers cross-country skiing and snow tubing. Pair the park with Midway’s Swiss-themed town center and the Homestead Crater, a geothermal pool inside a limestone dome.
