Incredible Surroundings
Accessibility
Independence is only 50 minutes to the Salt Lake City Airport, and less than three miles to the Heber City Airport. The town is also within two miles of a new regional hospital.
Recreation
2.5 million acres of Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest begins within town, and plays host to hunting, camping, hiking, biking, snowmobiling and more. A number of nearby water resources, ranging from streams to large, multi-use reservoirs, offer all the aquatic entertainment one could dream of. Independence is a true four-season, outdoor mecca. Just a hop, skip and jump from town, the possibilities are endless!
