Tell us about Midway:

Midway is a small mountain valley where it feels like you can get away from it all. It has everything you need, but it doesn’t feel like it. You can be at three different lakes in minutes that are home to some of the best fly fishing in the world. There are great cross-country, back-country, and down-hill skiing here, as well as hiking, mountain biking … the list goes on and on. Midway, Utah, is an outdoor lover’s paradise.

A perfect day?

Early morning paddle at one of the three lakes, lunch at one of the local cafes, a hike or drive in the mountains, and cap it off with watching the sunset over the Wasatch mountain range.

What is the best thing about Midway?

All the outdoor activities!

What is the worst?

When you don’t get the chance to go outside.

What would be surprising about Midway to a visitor?
