Midway is a small farming and resort town located about 5 miles (8 km) west of Heber City in Wasatch County. Thermal springs in and around the community issue from several widespread, coalescing travertine mounds covering an area of several square miles (kilometers). Temperatures in these springs range from 100°F to 115°F (38°C to 46°C). Kohler suggested that thermal water at Midway originates from deep circulation of meteoric water from recharge zones located to the north near Park City. Thermal water is contained within fractured, Paleozoic quartzite in a broad antiform structure
