The Pretty Park Nestled In Utah’s Mountains That’s A Must-Visit

One of the greatest things about the Beehive State is our many green spaces. From our largest national monument to our tiniest pocket park, there are so many places to explore and play! Here’s a pretty park in Provo that’s nestled right in the mountains, and if you’ve never visited, you should add it to your list. Check out South Fork Park:

There's a large, flat, shallow spot in the creek that's the perfect place to wade and splash on a hot, summer day.

Spend some time exploring the hiking trail, too! The park hooks into the Great Western Trail, which is a 4,455-mile trail that runs from Canada all the way down to Mexico.

You'll probably just want to hike in for a mile or so, then turn around and head back to the park.
You'll find plenty of spots to sit quietly, enjoying the grandeur of the scenery...
