Provo sits at the foot of the Wasatch Range with Utah Lake spread out below, a university city built around Brigham Young University whose campus and surroundings carry a clean-cut, outdoorsy energy. Provo Canyon cuts straight into the mountains east of town, leading to Bridal Veil Falls and the ski resorts of Sundance, making it as much a base for hiking and skiing as a city in its own right.

Traveler reviews
★★★★★
Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon was a short, easy walk to a genuinely beautiful waterfall, and Sundance afterwards felt like a different world.

Skied at Sundance and stayed in Provo — the canyon drive up was stunning even in winter, and the town itself was clean and quiet.
