We then took a nice drive between the mountains in the Heber Valley. We were able to view the stunning Timpanogos Mountain Range for miles.

In the nearby town of Midway we had lunch at Tarahumara Mexican Restaurant, which was phenomenal. The chicken and carnitas meat was quality, and there was a salsa bar with over a dozen unique salsa options.

After lunch we stopped to see the Homestead Crater in Midway. The crater is 65 feet deep and filled with 94 degree water that is hot spring fed. What is even more interesting is that the crater has a natural dome. The first visitors to the crater rappelled from a hole in the top of the dome to swim in the hot, mineral waters. Now a tunnel has been made for visitors to enter and swim. We didn't pay to swim, but we did touch the waters and marveled at the interesting natural structure.

From the crater we drove down to Bridal Veil Falls near Provo, Utah. We took an icy walk to the partially frozen falls. It was a beautiful day.

It was a great day of outdoor adventuring. We ended the day perfectly by relaxing with a movie back at the house with Jill and one of her friends.
