Stuff you gotta do!

Depending on the season you will always find something to do here in Provo whether it's relaxing by the pool or driving through the alpine loop, here you will find some of the enjoyable things to do in this college town.

Seven Peaks- located close to the BYU campus, you will make a splash getting wet and wild flying down some slippery slides, open during the summer time you be able to cool off and enjoy some family fun rides and slides. For an affordable price you could even purchase a Seven Peaks Pass enabling you to enjoy the slides whenever you'd like.

Ice Skating- located next to Seven Peaks is the Olympic hockey rink where you can dance the time away. During selected times the rinks are open to the public where you can rent ice skates and enjoy being with a group of friends or a date. Friday nights are college nights starting at 10 pm where they open one rink for ice skating and the other rink for broom hockey, college students only. Pricing is around $6.50 a person.

Hike the Y- this is a free activity you can enjoy for a date or with a group, it may be a little confusing to find the street to get to the start of the trail. If you type in the following coordinates you can get directions on Google maps 40.245074,-111.627326, these are the coordinates to get to the Y trail parking lot. The trail is normally open year-round and takes a couple hours to do. Its a great place to watch the sunset and during graduating weeks they light up the Y and during that time you can help light it up.

 

Bridal Veil Falls- take a walk along the scenic route of the Provo Canyon and find one of the natural beauties of Provo, Bridal Veil falls. About 20 minutes up the Provo Canyon you can drive up to this natural wonder and if you get bored of the view enjoy a scenic workout on the Provo Canyon trail where you may ride bicycles and longboards. Located up Provo Canyon (Hwy. 189), Provo, UT

Intro to Provo Fun!

As a student looking for more things to do with his time I am currently going to make a blog about what I have done to keep myself entertained here in this Wasatch Front city called Provo. I just hope that you find and enjoy doing some of the same things that I do and find yourselves interested in what's going on around this BYU/ UVU community.
