Perhaps you’ve noticed…it sure is cold outside right now. Deep into January, we’re still looking at another couple months of frigid temperatures, snow and ice. So, how does a soak in some nice, 96-degree water sound? Heavenly, right? Take a look at what’s hiding underground in Midway, Utah!
Homestead Resort is located at 700 Homestead Drive in Midway. It’s a beautiful place year-round, but especially in the winter.

In the winter, you might not be able to see the water trickling down the side of the dome into the pool below.

The temperature stays at a constant 96 degrees Fahrenheit, making it a very pleasant spot to soak, snorkel or even scuba dive.

In fact, people come from all over the country to scuba here. You can get scuba certified while enjoying the super warm water temperatures. The pool is about 65 feet deep.
