As the weather starts to turn warmer, there are lots of activities to enjoy at the Johnson Mill.
BIRD WATCHING continues to be an entertaining activity here at the Johnson Mill. The Spring Migration which starts about the first week in March promises to bring some interesting birds as they journey north. With the varied terrain the Mill offers such as ponds and streams, adjacent wet lands, meadows and vegetation attractive to many birds, over 70 varieties of birds have been spotted on the Mill property itself. The Audubon Society comes to the Mill on the third Wednesday of each month. Bring your own binoculars.
FLY FISHING is always a safe bet at the Mill. With a four acre rainbow-stocked spring-fed lake, five smaller ponds, spring creeks and waterfalls the fishing is always great. Enjoy an especially fun day by hiring one of our guides for a half or full day. They know all the great spots and what fish are eating for dinner these days. Everyone who hires one of our guides has fun all day. Visit www.Utahflyfish.com.
THE HEBER VALLEY RAILROAD offers rides down the picturesque Provo Canyon paralleling the Provo River as is slowly snakes down to Vivian Park, passing numerous waterfalls along the way. One may experience the excitement of spring, the dormant flora awakening after a long winter’s nap, riding in an outdoor car. Snacks are available for purchase on the train. Visit www.hebervalleyrr.org.

MOUNTAIN BIKING is a thrill in the spring. Watch the world wake up after a deep winter’s sleep with the new grasses and flowers peaking out from the melting snow. Ask us about out bike rentals. Also coming spring of 2007 we will have scooters to rent for a tour of Midway. A CAR TOUR is always enjoyable this time of year. Take a forty minute car drive- (whoa, its a dirt road and we need to find out if it is dry and passable first) but a wonderful picturesque drive to Cascade Springs. Hike around the springs- either the mile or the mile and a half walk, see the water bubbling up right out of the ground with large rainbow trout swimming at your feet. Then get back in your car and take the back roads through the beautiful Aspen Forest and drop into Sundance for a delicious lunch at one of the restaurants at Robert Redford’s resort.
HORSEBACK RIDING is an invigorating activity. Saddle up and head on out for a scenic 1 to 4 hour ride, along an original game trail high on the south slope of Tate Creek Canyon. Visit a secluded mountain meadow and return on a wagon trail used by early settlers to Soldier Hollow. Add the optional chuck wagon dinner for the “real western experience”. The dinner is extraordinary! Call Rocky Mountain Outfitters. 435-654-1665Visit www.rockymtnoutfitters.com.
HOT AIR BALLOONING can enable you to enjoy the beauty of the picturesque Heber Valley from amazing heights in an exciting Hot Air Balloon Ride taking off from the Mill Property. If you have not experienced a Hot Air Balloon Ride you have a real treat in store. The ride is exhilarating, the view extraordinary! Call Wasatch Ballooning 435-657-2233
