Heber Valley is preparing for a variety of autumn festivities, including seasonal scenic drives, family-oriented farm activities, and local seasonal events. These upcoming celebrations follow a mid-September forecast of mostly cloudy skies and temperatures in the low 50s.
Autumn Scenic Experiences
The Heber Valley region is transitioning into the autumn season, with local organizations highlighting various ways for visitors to experience the mountain terrain. As the leaves change color, the area is promoting several scenic drives through the mountain landscape that are specifically recommended for the autumn months.
Seasonal Scenic Routes
According to Go Heber Valley, the scenic drives around and near the valley are open seasonally from spring through fall, but are considered to be at their best during the autumn season. These routes allow visitors to view the vibrant fall colors and the changing landscape of the mountain terrain.
Family Farm Festivities
Family-friendly activities are a central focus for the upcoming season. Heber Valley Artisan Cheese has announced it will host a Fall Festival throughout the entire month of October. This event includes several attractions designed for children, such as a hay maze, a corn pit, a hay slide, and a bounce house.
Farm Activities and Dining
The festivities at Heber Valley Artisan Cheese also include the Kohler Creamery, located onsite, which will offer fresh cheese curds, grilled cheese sandwiches, and locally made ice cream. Visitors can also participate in dairy farm tours, which are scheduled to take place at 11:00 AM from Monday through Saturday.
Evening Spooky Events
For older children and adults, the season includes specialized evening events. Haunted Hayrides are scheduled to take place on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights throughout the month of October at Heber Valley Artisan Cheese. Additionally, the Heber Valley Funeral Home will host its first 'After Dark' at the Mortuary Haunted House.
Community Charity Events
The Haunted House event at the Heber Valley Funeral Home, located at 288 North Main Street in Heber City, is restricted to adults and children ages 12 and up.
