To do:

  • Windsurfer beach is a good inlet for swimming in Pineview

  • Borrow a canoe and go to Causey

  • Powder Mountain is both great in winter and summer. Even when there is no snow, great hiking trails. Worth the drive.

  • Nordic Valley is my go to ski resort

  • Snowbasin is also good for skiing in winter and hiking in summer. There is a good restaurant at the top of the gondola

  • Float the weber river

To see:

To eat:

  • Betos - These are all over the wasatch front. Rancheritos is also good and very similar

  • Cafe Rio is better than Costa Vida - Get the sweet pork

  • Eats of Eden

  • Wing Wah - Reviews are pretty mixed, but its nostalgic so I love it

  • A little out of the way, but Taggarts Grill can be worth the trek

  • Straw market - great for baked goods

  • Maddox in Perry

  • Tagges Fruit Stand

  • Bruges in SLC - they also have one at the airport now. Get a waffle and the machine gun sandwich

  • J Dawgs - Utah classic

  • Provo Bakery

  • Hruska's Kolaches in Provo - Get early or they run out

  • Swig - tons of locations

  • Mo Bettahs - also tons of locations
