Things To Do
Sundance Ski Resorts
We love going to the Foundry Grill for brunch or dinner. Grabbing a drink at the owl bar is so cozy and romantic. You can ride the ski lift for a relaxing ride and hike down if you'd like. Check out there website for all of their summer activities. Sundance is only 15 minutes from where I grew up! Its one of my favorite places on earth.
Bridal Veil Falls
Bridal Veil Falls is a beautiful natural waterfall in scenic Provo Canyon. It's easily accessible via a trail that connects to the parking lot. Just a short drive from the mouth of the canyon on Hwy 189, Bridal Veil Falls Park has picnic tables with barbecue grills, plenty of parking (in a couple of parking lots), as well as grassy picnic spots. Kylee would often go to Bridal Veil with her family on Sundays after church! Its more of a nature walk than a hike. Check out the website www.alltrails.com to find different hikes at different difficulty levels.

Located across from Temple Square and other tourist attractions, City Creek Center offers a mix of luxury retailers, unique-to-market stores and trusted brands. Right in the heart of downtown SLC, its a great place to park your car and explore the city.

Homestead Crater
One of the unique activities at the Homestead Resort in Midway Utah is our one-of-a-kind Homestead Crater. The Crater is a geothermal spring, hidden within a 55-foot tall, beehive-shaped limestone rock located on the Homestead property. Over 10,000 years in the making, The Crater formed when melting snow on the Wasatch Mountains seeped deep within the earth. Two miles below the surface, the earth’s interior heated the water. As it percolated upward, it picked up minerals, which were then deposited on the surface — eventually forming the volcano-shaped limestone deposit called The Homestead Crater. The hole at the top of the dome lets in sunlight and fresh air while the interior stays heated by the mineral water at a constant range of 90 – 96 degrees Fahrenheit.
Bonneville Salt Flats
Bonneville Salt Flats has one of the most unique natural features in Utah: A crust of salt stretching over 30,000 acres. Looking out across the area, you’d swear there was a light dusting of snow, even in the middle of summer. Despite its impressive looks, it’s speed that brings the Flats international recognition.
