Soldier Hollow!!!

Soldier Hollow Tubing Hill is the perfect place for a winter adventure! If you like sledding, like the snow, or like having fun then you will LOVE tubing at Soldier Hollow and it is relatively close to Provo.

Soldier Hollow has three sledding runs that are 1,200 feet of pure joy! Not only that but they have a lift service that tows you up the hill on your tube. You really don’t have to do anything except hold on, have fun and try to go as fast as possible!

I was able to go to Soldier Hollow with my ward a couple years back and it was such a great ward activity! It is easy to go with a lot of people because the runs can accommodate people and it is a fun way to get to know people! I would recommend going to Soldier Hollow for a date, ward activity or just a fun thing for your friends to do. As long as you dress warm, everyone will love it!

The tubing hill is open Monday thru Friday from noon to 8 and Saturday from 10-8. It costs 19 dollars per person, for 2 hours. You are also able to get group rates depending on the amount of people going. For more information go to http://www.soldierhollow.com/tubing.php.

Soldier Hollow is the perfect place to go for a fun day out of Provo and in the snow. There is always an adventure waiting for you, so go find it!

I love walking!!!

The easiest thing to do outside in Provo is to go for a walk. There are a million places to walk, things to see and people to visit. I personally like to walk to all of the various parks around Provo or just walk around in gerneral. It is easy to walk around Provo and it is really good for you! Since it has been so warm outside the last few weeks, you really should step outside and get some fresh air by walking somewhere.

Just make sure not to walk around when the air quality is bad and be careful when crossing the street because Provo drivers are crazy.

Bonfire!

Some people think that bonfires are something you should only do in the summer or on the beach, but this is where you are wrong! Bonfires in the winter are just as good as any other bonfires because you get to experience the snow while having the warmth of the fire!
My friends and I had a bonfire this weekend up Provo Canyon at a park called Glen Canyon Park. It was such a blast to be outside, experiencing nature, while not freezing in the snow. Glen Canyon Park is also a great place to have a bonfire because there are a lot of fire pits and the park is spacious so you aren’t surrounded by everyone else in the park. Glen Canyon is the second park up Provo Canyon on the left. If you aren’t able to find a place at Glen Canyon, you can also have bonfires at Canyon View Park, Vivian Park and if you want to drive a little farther you can go up South Fork Canyon. South Fork Canyon is my favorite place to have a bonfire because it isn’t right off the highway, so you are able to experience more of nature. To get to South Fork Canyon, you turn off the Provo Canyon highway at Vivian Park and you keep driving up the road that goes through the park. I am not sure how great the roads are in the winter, but if you can get up there it is the perfect spot to have a bonfire or any other kind of adventure!
Just remember when you are having a bonfire in the snow, you need to dress warm and make sure to take something to sit on so that you don’t have to sit on the ground. Also make sure that you have enough wood, kindling and something that can get the fire started in the snow. Don’t forget the most important thing at a Bonfire is the S’mores! There is an adventure awaiting you, so go find it!
