Wasatch County, Administrative county in north-central Utah, US
Wasatch County spreads across mountain ranges and valleys in central Utah, with Heber City serving as its main hub. The region contains numerous outdoor recreation areas, hiking trails, and reservoirs that draw both residents and visitors.
Pioneer settlers established communities here in 1862, leading to the county's formation and growth. Heber City emerged as the region's center, shaping development patterns that continue today.
The Heber Valley Historic Railroad connects visitors to the region's transportation past through seasonal train rides and learning programs. This living heritage shapes how locals and guests experience the valley's story.
The area sits at higher elevation, so weather changes quickly and winters can bring snow. Spring through fall offers the best conditions for exploring outdoor spaces and enjoying the many trails and parks.
Three substantial reservoirs - Jordanelle, Deer Creek, and Strawberry - define the landscape and serve both water storage and recreation needs. These bodies of water create a character that sets the region apart from surrounding areas.
