It is also close to Park City and the Wasatch Front where so many residents commute to work. For those interstate commuters, there is the Heber airport which services private jets as well as local airplane and glider enthusiasts. The much improved and widened highway 189 from Provo/Orem allows easier travelling to the Salt Lake Valley.

Recreation Outdoor recreation is a primary component of both the lifestyle and the economy in the Heber area. The Provo River cuts through the heart of the valley and attracts fly fishermen from around the country. Strawberry, Jordanelle and Deer Creek are three of the most popular reservoirs in Utah and provide opportunity for outstanding fishing, boating and other water sports.
