If you (or your kids) are a fan of the movie Polar Express, the Heber Creeper Polar Express is a must on your holiday list. We obtained tickets a month ago, they sell out fast. We were joined by Grammy and Gandpy, Bryson, Brooke and Gabe. The ride up Provo canyon was a little dicey at times but we arrived on time to jump on the train in Heber. I would guess the temperature was around 15 degrees (at that point accuracy doesn't really matter). The train itself must be a least 100 years old, it is decorated to match the movie version and yes, it is heated by a vintage wood stove.
The ride itself takes you through the Heber Valley to Soldier Hollow and takes about an hour and a half. Along the way we were visited by Santa and Mrs. Clause and fed cookies and hot chocolate by Santa's elves. The kids were enchanted by the atmosphere on the train. I'm convinced that the Polar Express adventure will be the highlight of the Christmas season for our family.
