  • Natural Wonder: The Homestead Crater is a geothermal spring hidden within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone cave. Formed over 10,000 years, it was created by melting snow from the Wasatch Mountains seeping deep into the earth and heating up.
  • Diverse Activities: Visitors can enjoy a variety of activities such as swimming, scuba diving, snorkeling, and even standup-paddleboard yoga in the crystal-clear mineral water.
  • Accessible Adventure: The crater features a tunnel through the rock wall at ground level, providing easy access to custom-built decks and a soaking area, making it accessible without the need for rappelling.
