Sure we have got five golf courses and they are all public courses with 18 holes. They are all within five minutes of each other. They can be booked for lodging guests up to 60 days in advance. For people that are not necessarily staying in a lodging property, they can book them up to seven days in advance. Wasatch Mountain State Park actually has two courses; a lake course and a mountain course. We have Soldier Hollow, which is right there at the Olympic venue and they also have two courses; the silver and the gold. In Homestead, we have 18 holes. The Homestead Resort offers probably one of the most unique activities anywhere and they have scuba diving right on site which sounds really unbelievable, but they have what they call Homestead Crater with a huge mineral hot spring that averages about 90 degrees year round. They do scuba diving, swimming, and a mineral bath that you can just go in and relax in. The water is totally calcium based; it's a really unique experience. They have got rock formations under there because of the minerals. It's the only warm water you can go scuba diving in in the US; that goes on year round. We have the Heber Valley railroad, which is a totally restored historic tourist train. They operate on a year-round basis as well. It is just a scenic tour almost daily during the off season. They do theme trains like a gaming train. They have a barbeque train, and during the holidays they have their Haunt the Canyon train rides. They do a very, very well known Polar Express train that normally fills up every year. We have three reservoirs in the county. We have great fishing, boating, water skiing, and ice fishing during the winter. The Provo River, which is one of the nations well known Blue Ribbon Trout Rivers, runs right through the middle of our valley. We are very well known for a lot of the trails around the area which are used during the summer for mountain biking, tubing, hiking, back country camping, and horse back riding. Then during the winter-time, they are used mainly for the snowmobiling and cross country skiing.
