Orem, which sits between the Wasatch Mountains and Utah Lake, has plenty of scenic views and outdoor activities. Here are some insider tips to keep in mind as you explore the beauty around Utah Valley University.
Kids on wheelchairs can safely enjoy rides and play at the soft-foam floor All-Together Playground. Alternatively, head to Mount Timpanogos Park for a walk, picnic, or barbeque. Get a workout as you hike to the hidden Bridal Veil Falls, or bike along Murdoch Canal Trail, away from traffic. Challenge yourself by participating in the annual Thanksgiving Point Half Marathon and the Tulip Festival Half Marathon.
If you're traveling on a budget, you'll be pleased to learn that some attractions in the area don't charge admission fees – head to Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum in Provo and browse its animal life displays, or Woodbury Art Museum to view its eclectic displays. Visit the breathtaking waterfall near the Centennial Carillon Bell Tower.
Attend the Timpanogos Storytelling Festival, the western United States' largest, on Labor Day weekend, or check out a play at Hale Center. Alternatively, young families will love the Easter egg hunt, where children under 11 years can join in the fun.
