From Bridal Veil Falls to the Cascade Springs to following the Provo River, this canyon is spectacular any time of year!
Provo Canyon is easy to find, Nice trails, I keep coming back... I always feel at peace in this Canyon.
Beautiful drive! A must see if you're in the area! Take the time to stop along the way and take pictures to share
Provo Canyon has a getaway-from-the-city feel, but just a 5 minute drive from the city. You're immediately up into nature. Park in a lot on the side, and get out of the car, there's stuff to see and do. Bridal veil falls is right off the side of the road in the spring, when the water runoff is at its peak. I actually proposed up here. beautiful all around.
I love the easy access from 1-15. We actually live in Provo and it's a 10 minute drive from our house. You can float the river, bike or jog the River Trail (which is miles long and makes for some great scenery), boat or sunbathe at Deer Creek Reservoir (the water is generally pretty cold). We just love all the different parks and trails available for most of the year. Cheap and good fun!! No need to pay at most of them, too, which is really nice.
This is a beautiful, running, biking, walking trail. I highly dislike the long boarders because they take up a lot of room and are a bit out of control. It's beautiful, shady and has water fountains along the way. The waterfall is amazing and worth it to go see.
Go when the leaves are changing but be aware that sudden drops in the temperature can leave you chilly. Very warm and beautiful in the summer time. Brown Trout fill the streams and the mountains look like they go on forever.
Full of Mother Nature breath, with relaxing and tranquil atmosphere. Good for a nice day of family pick-nicking!
We love going up the canyon, especially in the fall. OUr digs love to walk along the rails & explore. A lot of fun parks & trails & hikes to do!
If you were at Salt Lake Citty but have no much more time you can set a half day to visit Provo Canyon, just 1-hour from Salt Lake City by car. Along the highway there is a lot of public parks to stop and walking around for a while. We stopped at Vivian Park in the autumnn - beautiful colours!
