Things To Do
Gourmandise
Gourmandise is an incredible, award-winning European bakery and cafe that Megan has been obsessed with since college. If you are itching for a sweet treat, or just want some French onion soup, this is the place to go. If you make a stop, you MUST get the Raspberry Spiral Croissant, it's to DIE for!
Alpine Scenic Loop
There is no better time to soak in the Utah mountain scenery than September, when the leaves begin to change and you can experience a spectrum of beautiful fall colors! You can take the scenic drive over the Alpine Loop where American Fork Canyon and Provo Canyon intersect. Along the drive, you can also see Bridal Veil Falls or swing by Sundance Resort and grab a drink at the historic Owl Bar.
Stewart Falls Trailhead
For those of you who enjoy hiking and the great outdoors, Stewart Falls is a great hike that is close to town, and approximately a 3.5 mile hike that takes about 2 hours.
Bombay House
A true local favorite and widely considered one of the best restaurants in Utah, Bombay House is a must-visit for incredible Indian cuisine. Known for its rich, flavorful dishes (think chicken tikka masala, coconut kurma, and fresh garlic naan), it consistently earns rave reviews and has built a loyal following over the years. With a warm, inviting atmosphere and plenty of vegetarian and gluten-free options, it’s a great spot for both a relaxed dinner or a special night out.
Try a Utah Burger & Fry Sauce
This might be controversial, but Utah makes the best burgers anywhere. There are countless places to choose from, but whether you get a Crown Burger, a Utah-staple pastrami burger from Apollo Burger, or stop by Cubby's for a more elevated fast casual experience, you'll be in for a treat! A burger would not be complete without a side of fries with Fry Sauce.
Oktoberfest at Snowbird Resort
Looking for something fun after the wedding? Oktoberfest at Snowbird Resort is a great option just up Little Cottonwood Canyon, with live music, great food, and a beautiful mountain setting—perfect for out-of-town guests wanting a more lively Utah experience. The festival features 50+ varieties of beer, including a great selection from local Utah microbreweries, plus a festive biergarten atmosphere. It’s also very family-friendly, with activities like scenic tram rides, an alpine slide, hiking, and local artisan vendors. Tip: Free shuttles run up the canyon starting at noon—highly recommended, as parking is limited.
