Fire in the Sky UTV Fun Run
Sep 13th – Sep 15th
Now, let's dive into the mysteries of Heber. In the days of bell-bottoms and disco, a logger's tale of an Alien Abduction rocked the small town. The logger's story still lingers in the air, as if it's a secret waiting to be uncovered. His friends found him in a telephone booth – an eerie encounter that's left folks wondering whether he was returned or managed to escape. And you can relive this tale by visiting the very telephone booths where this otherworldly story unfolded. While you're there, pose for pictures with two larger-than-life alien wooden statues that stand guard by the telephone booths. This isn't just a story; it's a real-life encounter with the unknown. The logger, Travis Walton, shared his experience in the book "Fire in the Sky," which later became a movie that captured the imagination of many.
But Heber is more than just a backdrop for mysterious tales. This gem of a community is nestled amidst the cool Ponderosa Pines of the Mogollon Rim, a mere two and a half hours away from the Phoenix hustle. And don't let its size fool you – there's an abundance of activities waiting for you. Fishing, hunting, biking, hiking, camping, and of course, the exhilarating thrill of UTV off-roading. With off-road trails branching in every direction, wildlife encounters and awe-inspiring vistas are just around the bend.
