Getting Around

Provo City is walkable from our house, but if you need to make trips between cities, a car is a good idea. Alternately, the FrontRunner has a stop in most nearby cities, but you'll need a way to get from the station to your destination.

Beautiful hike into the canyon to see the rock formations and mountain views. Can be as short or as long of a hike as you want–for a shorter hike, we typically go about 1.5 miles in and then turn back around.
