Train

Amtrak connects Utah to Chicago and the San Francisco Bay Area daily via the California Zephyr, which stops in Salt Lake City, Provo, Helper, and Green River. However, trains are notorious for delays.

Scenic Train Trips

On the Heber Valley Historic Railroad you can catch the Heber Creeper, a turn-of-the-20th-century steam-locomotive train that runs from Heber City across Heber Valley, alongside Deer Creek Reservoir, and down Provo Canyon to Vivian Park. Depending on the time of year, you can catch the North Pole Express, the Wild West Train, or an Adventure Train that includes a stop for rafting.
