Best college towns in America: Provo, Utah (Home of Brigham Young University)

Utah itself is an underrated state to visit. Bryce Canyon and Zion Canyon alone are reasons to take a trip, but Salt Lake City is a great city in itself. Then, there is Provo, Utah, the home to BYU. The school is famous for what it’s been able to do on Saturdays. They have Zach Wilson and Tayson Hill in the NFL now. This town has so much more than great quarterback play.

Bridal Veil Falls is something everyone needs to see once in their life. It’s a 600-foot tall waterfall right on the side of Provo Canyon. It used to be the home of “the world’s steepest tramway”, but that was destroyed by an avalanche back in the 90s and was never rebuilt (probably for the best). The canyon itself is also a great place to hike or bring a picnic lunch.

There are a ton of museums on and off-campus, including the local Museum of Art and the Museum of Peoples and Cultures. The latter teaches students about other cultures to bring a diverse feel to the city of Provo. There’s also the Museum of Paleontology, which collects the best rocks and dinosaur fossils from the surrounding states.

Provo Beach is an indoor park that has its own wave pool. That’s not something one would expect from this town, but expect the unexpected from this great Utah area.
