Summers are glorious at the Johnson Mill. You may need a sweater or light wrap at night. Days usually top at mid to high eighties.
BIRD WATCHING is an entertaining activity here at the Johnson Mill. 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.

MOUNTAIN BIKING is a favorite activity. The lush green of the valley floor contrasting with the surrounding majestic snowcapped mountains make riding in the Heber Valley a wondrous entertainment. Ride on any of the trails through the valley. Bikes are avalible to rent at Johnson Mill. A CAR TOUR is always enjoyable this time of year. Take a forty minute car drive- (whoa, its a dirt road!) 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 a perfect summer 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 435-654-1665
