I-15 exit 272. Follow 800 North (SR-52) east until you come to US-189 and Provo Canyon. This 28-mile byway winds through wide, wonderful Provo Canyon where dynamic forces of a past era are revealed in the canyon’s gnarled rock walls and jagged rock formations. Bridal Veil Falls can be seen from the road, and there is a parking area if you want to take a longer look. At the top of the canyon is Deer Creek Reservoir with sailing, boating, fishing, and windsurfing. The byway ends in Heber Valley—home of the Heber Valley Historic Railroad, and Soldier Hollow, a network of cross-country trails built for the 2002 Olympic Winter Games and available to the public. A worthwhile side trip is the Alpine Scenic Loop (SR-92), a narrow, windy road famous for fall color drives. It leads past Sundance Resort, the Uinta National Forest, and Timpanogos Cave National Monument.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
