Both E and my brother Steven love trains. So last week we drove up the canyon to Heber City and we took a ride on the Heber Valley Railroad. There were two trips to choose from: a 3-hour trip and 90-minute trip. We went on the 90-minute trip and it turned out to be just the right length. The ride was a lot of fun. You could sit in the open cars or in the old passenger cars. We switched between the two.

E liked climbing around on the benches.
The wind gives E a stylin’ do.
The fall foliage in the canyon was a nice bonus. It was breathtaking.The only downside to the trip was that E got carsick on the drive back home through the canyon and threw up a couple of times. It put a bit of a damper on things. But overall it was a really nice outing.
If you’re local and have avid train fans in your family I think it’s worth going once. The train rides are fairly pricey ($24 for 90 minutes, $30 for 3 hours), but kids under 3 are free which helps. I don’t think we’ll be going again anytime soon but I’m glad we went this time.
Oh! I love the fall foliage photo! So beautiful. I must admit, while I love living in AZ and being close to family, I miss the fall!
Such a great shot of E with his hair standing straight up from the wind. Sorry he got sick 🙁
I love E's hair – he looks like he's having a blast. The foliage is amazing! What a great way to see the canyon in fall without having to worry about keeping your eyes on the road.
Man, that looks like so much fun, and I'm sure my boys would LOVE it, but that's pretty pricey for a family outing now that we have 2 over 2. I love your pictures, as always.
