Town guides

Where to base yourself, what to see, where to eat and what's on through the year.

Our home turf

Utah County

American Fork

American Fork sits at the mouth of the canyon that bears its name: Timpanogos Cave, Tibble Fork and Silver Lake Flat reservoirs and the Alpine Loop are minutes from a historic Main Street, a big north-end park and Utah Lake’s boat harbor.

Lehi

Lehi pairs Utah County’s biggest family attraction, Thanksgiving Point, with an old Main Street that still has a working 1906 flour mill, a square-doughnut bakery, a quirky pioneer museum and a rodeo that has run every June since the 1930s.
