Things To Do In Utah: Soldier Hollow Tube Slide and More...

The family and I took the weekend to get away and relax for the weekend.  Our destination was our family townhome in Midway, Utah.

No Snow


When we arrived, we were surprised to be greeted by very little snow.  We brought our snowshoes with the intent to go for a walk in some nice powder on the mountain.  We scratched that delusion pretty quickly.

Our first fun activity was a trip to Soldier Hollow at Wasatch Mountain State Park.  We had reserved a time slot to spend at the tube slides.

Once you grab your tube, the facility has a tow line that takes you 300 yards up the hill.

There are six different tracks to choose from.  Here is video I took of one of them:


After our tubing adventure we headed to find some place we could snowshoe...


We found a north facing slope east of the Golf Course and started our hike.  It wasn't too long before we found a couple half-eaten baby deer.  Nothing makes a little girl's adventure more memorable that stumbling upon that scene.  After the horror show, we pressed on and blazed our own trail through the forest.


In all we quite an enjoyable time.
