PROVO RIVER PARKWAY

God blessed us with a wonderful Indian Summer day and great friends. It was wholesome exercise and great fall colors. It was fun seeing the Heber Creeper, blow its whistle and pull out of Vivian Park. A great day with Jesus!

GENEVA ROAD TO VIVIAN PARK

DESCRIPTION: One of the best paved parkway trails in the state of Utah. This energetic ride is more fun than going to Lagoon.  You'll ride over wooden bridges, glide under a canopy of golden leaves, and coast under narrow tunnels beneath major roads. At Bridal Veil Falls, you'll have to get off your bike and walk it for several hundred feet...it is a pedestrian zone.

VIVIAN PARK TO UTAH LAKE

 At Vivian Park, if you are lucky, you can see the Heber Creeper. You can ride this old train all the way from Heber to the park and back. 

PROVO CANYON PARKWAY
