The Crater

Despite the name, it’s not actually an open crater. The Crater at the Homestead Resort in Midway, Utah is actually a geothermal spring, hidden within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock. With a large vent at the top, it will make you feel like you are swimmihttps://homesteadresort.com/utah-resort-things-to-do/homestead-crater/ng in a warm relaxing volcano. You can swim in The Crater but for the more adventurous, you can go scuba diving in The Crater. The max scuba diving depth is 4o feet due to its high elevation.
