Top Attractions in Provo

Brigham Young University

Brigham Young University (often referred to as BYU or, colloquially, The Y) is a private research university located in Provo, Utah, United States. It is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church), and, excluding online students, is the largest of any religious university and the third largest private university in the United States, with 29,672 on-campus students. Approximately 99 percent of the students are members of the LDS Church, and one-third of its US students are from Utah. Students attending BYU are required to follow an honor code, which mandates behavior in line with LDS teachings such as academic honesty, adherence to dress and grooming standards, and abstinence from extramarital sex and from the consumption of drugs and alcohol. Many students (88 percent of men, 33 percent of women) either delay enrollment or take a hiatus from their studies to serve as Mormon missionaries. (Men typically serve for two-years, while women serve for 18 months.) An education at BYU is also less expensive than at similar private universities, since "a significant portion" of the cost of operating the university is subsidized by the church's tithing funds. BYU offers programs in liberal arts, engineering, agriculture, management, physical and mathematical sciences, nursing and law. The university is broadly organized into 11 colleges or schools at its main Provo campus, with certain colleges and divisions defining their own admission standards. The university also administers two satellite campuses, one in Jerusalem and one in Salt Lake City, while its parent organization, the Church Educational System (CES), sponsors sister schools in Hawaii and Idaho. The university's primary focus is on undergraduate education, but it also has 68 master's and 25 doctoral degree programs. BYU's athletic teams compete in Division I of the NCAA and are collectively known as the BYU Cougars. Their college football team is an NCAA Division I Independent, while their other sports teams compete in either the West Coast Conference or Mountain Pacific Sports Federation. BYU's sports teams have won a total of fourteen national championships.

Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum

The Monte L. Bean Life Science Museum is a natural history museum housed at Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. The museum is named for Monte Lafayette Bean, a self-made Seattle-based magnate who entirely funded and paid for the museum buildings construction. He also donated many of his own animal trophies to the collection. The Bean Museum opened in 1978, and is accredited by the American Alliance of Museums. It maintains collections of vascular and non-vascular plants, and invertebrate and vertebrate animals. Before 1978, it was known as the BYU Life Sciences Museum and did not have its own building. The Bean Museum now houses the Liger Shasta that lived Hogle Zoo from when she was born on May 6, 1948, till when she died, on July 12, 1972. Admission to the three-story museum is free of charge and over 100,000 unique visitors come to see the over 2 million specimens of insects, plants, reptiles, fish, shells, and birds.

Y Mountain

Y Mountain is mountain located directly east of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah, United States. The Slide Canyon/Y Mountain Trail leads to a large block Y located 1.2 miles from a parking area at the mountain's base. This hillside letter was built over a hundred years ago as the insignia for BYU. For years the trail to the Y has been one of the most hiked trails in Utah Valley and provides a scenic view of Provo and Orem, the rest of the many cities in Utah Valley and Utah Lake. The trail is also regularly used by hikers, bikers, paragliders and hunters to access the backcountry in the Slide Canyon area. The monument has been vandalized several times in its history.

BYU Museum of Paleontology

The Brigham Young University Museum of Paleontology was started in 1976 around the collection of James A. Jensen. For many years, it was known as the BYU Earth Science Museum, and most of the collection was in storage under the Lavell Edwards Stadium. In October 2009, the museum held a grand opening of its new facilities during BYU homecoming week. With the 5,000-square-foot addition, it now displays most of the collection. The change of name clarifies that the museum actually houses a large collection of dinosaur bones and other fossils. The museum is currently directed by Rodney Scheetz, who was one of Jensens students at BYU. Its main purpose is to facilitate research, but it is open to the public. Adams, Brooke, "Y. Researchers Start to Piece Puzzle of Dinosaur Bones", Deseret News "Fact or fiction: Are dinosaur bones stored underneath BYUs LaVell Edwards Stadium?", Deseret News, October 7, 2004 Israelsen-Hartley, Sara, "Y. science museum expanded, renamed", Deseret News

Brigham Young University Museum of Peoples and Cultures

The Brigham Young University Museum of Peoples and Cultures, located in Provo, Utah, is the universitys museum of archaeology and ethnology. The Museum of Peoples and Cultures has a wide variety of collections containing over a million objects. Most of the 7,000 collections come from the regions of South America, Mesoamerica, Central America, the American Southwest, the Great Basin and Polynesia. However, there are many objects from other parts of the world which are available for study and research.

Bridal Veil Falls

Bridal Veil Falls is a 607-foot-tall double cataract waterfall in the south end of Provo Canyon, close to US189 in Utah, United States. An aerial tramway service to the top of the falls was built in 1961 and the small, six-passenger tramway functioned as a recreational attraction and as the only access to a restaurant built by Groneman Construction situated on a cliff at the top of the falls. In early 1996 an avalanche destroyed the building housing the tramway machinery and a gift shop and it was never rebuilt. In July 2008, an arson fire burned the building at the top of the tramway, and very little remains. In August 2008, the trams cable was cut down. When the tramway was in operation prior to the 1996 avalanche, it was heralded as the "worlds steepest aerial tramway," although that claim is difficult to ascertain. The falls were a featured point along the route of the Heber Creeper tourist train until the train discontinued its service past the falls. The train tracks in front of the falls were removed and converted into a recreational trail. Now the falls and a small park just west of the falls can also be accessed via U.S. Highway 189. The 1982 movie "Savannah Smiles", contains scenes in Provo Canyon including Bridal Veil falls. The film also shows a scene with characters in the movie riding the tramway when it was still functioning.

Provo Canyon

Provo Canyon is a canyon located in unincorporated Utah County, Utah, USA and Wasatch County, Utah. Provo Canyon splits between Mount Timpanogos on the north and Mount Cascade on the south. The canyon extends from Orem on the west end to Heber City on the east. The canyons main thoroughfare is U.S. Route 189. Attractions in Provo Canyon include Vivian Park and Bridal Veil Falls. The Heber Valley Historic Railroad operates passenger trains through the canyon. The Provo River has carved out the canyon over time along with the forces of erosion.

Brigham Young University Museum of Art

The Brigham Young University Museum of Art, located in Provo, Utah, is the universitys primary art museum and is one of the best attended university-campus art museums in the United States. The museum, which had been discussed for more than fifty years, opened in a 10,000-square-foot space in October 1993 with a large exhibit on the Etruscans. The museum is an integral part of the BYU College of Fine Arts and Communications and provides opportunities for students across the college and the universitys campus.

Provo City Center Temple

The Provo City Center Temple is a temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints under construction on the same site as the former Provo Tabernacle in Provo, Utah. The temple utilizes much of the external shell of the tabernacle, which was damaged in a fire in 2010.

Provo Utah Temple

The Provo Utah Temple is the 17th constructed and 15th operating temple of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . Located in the city of Provo, Utah, it was built with a modern single-spire design, similar to the original design of the Ogden Utah Temple. Since Provo’s early years, a hill just northeast of downtown Provo was known as "Temple Hill." Instead of a temple, however, the Maeser Building was built on the hill in 1911 as a part of the Brigham Young University campus. A 17-acre block of property at the base of Rock Canyon was chosen as the site for the Provo Temple. The intention to construct a temple in Provo was announced by the LDS Church on August 14, 1967, and a groundbreaking ceremony was held on September 15, 1969, with construction beginning soon thereafter. Emil B. Fetzer, the architect for the Ogden and Provo temples, was asked to create a functional design with efficiency, convenience, and reasonable cost as key factors. The temple was dedicated on February 9, 1972, by LDS Church president Joseph Fielding Smith. The two dedicatory services were broadcast to several large auditoriums on the BYU campus, including the 22,700-seat Marriott Center. The temple has 6 ordinance rooms and 12 sealing rooms, and has a total floor area of 128,325 square feet . Thirty-one years after the temple's completion, a statue of the Angel Moroni was added to the spire, which itself was changed from gold to white. In large part because of its location across the street from a Missionary Training Center and proximity to the BYU campus, the Provo Utah Temple is one of the church's busiest.

Brigham Young University–Hawaii

Brigham Young University-Hawaii is a private university located in Laie, Hawaii, United States. It is owned and operated by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints . BYU-Hawaii was founded in 1955 and offers programs in mathematics, liberal arts, and management. The university is broadly organized into four colleges, and its parent organization, the Church Educational System , sponsors sister schools in Utah and Idaho. The university's sole focus is on undergraduate education. Approximately 97 percent of the university's 2,800 students are members of the LDS Church. BYU-Hawaii students are required to follow an honor code, which requires behavior in line with LDS teachings (e.g., academic honesty, adherence to dress and grooming standards, and abstinence from extramarital sex and from the consumption of drugs and alcohol). A BYU-Hawaii education is less expensive than similar private universities since a large portion of tuition is funded by LDS Church tithing funds. The university partners with the LDS Church-owned Polynesian Cultural Center, the largest living museum in the State of Hawaii, which employs roughly one third of the student body. Its athletic teams compete in Division II of the NCAA and are collectively known as the BYU-Hawaii Seasiders. They are members of the Pacific West Conference and have won 19 national titles.

Mount Timpanogos

Mount Timpanogos, sometimes informally referred to as Timp, is the second highest mountain in Utah's Wasatch Range. Timpanogos rises to an elevation of 11,752 ft above sea level in the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. With 5,270 feet of topographic prominence, Timpanogos is the 47th-most prominent mountain in the contiguous United States. The mountain towers about 7,000 feet over Utah Valley, including the cities of Lehi, Provo, Orem, Pleasant Grove, American Fork, Lindon and others. The exposed portion of the mountain is made up entirely of limestone and dolomite from the Pennsylvanian period, and is about 300 million years old. Heavy winter snowfall is characteristic of this portion of the Wasatch Range, and avalanche activity is common in winter and spring. The mountain is also home to Timpanogos Cave National Monument, a series of decorated caves in the north end of the mountain that have guided ranger tours open daily to the public during the warmer months. The word Timpanogos comes from the Timpanogots tribe who lived in the surrounding valleys from AD 1400. The name translates as "rock" , and "water mouth" or "canyon" .

Brigham Young University Arboretum

Within eight simulated tropical villages, performers demonstrate various arts and crafts from throughout Polynesia. Visitors may also take a free shuttle tour of the university and see the Laie Hawaii Temple and its associated visitors center of the LDS Church. Seventy percent of the centers approximately 1,300 employees are students at BYU-Hawaii. Although it is largely a commercial venture, PCC profits fund various scholarship programs at BYU–Hawaii.

Spanning over 5,000 acres on the slopes of Mount Timpanogos in Utahs Wasatch Range, alpine skiing began on the site in 1944. Actor Robert Redford acquired the area in 1968, and established a year-round resort which would later spawn the independent Sundance Film Festival and the non-profit Sundance Institute. Sundance is committed to the balance of art, nature and community.

Timpanogos Glacier

Timpanogos Glacier is a buried glacier that is located in the Wasatch Range, Wasatch-Cache National Forest, and is the last glacier in the U.S. state of Utah. The glacier is situated on the north slope of Mount Timpanogos ). During the dust bowl drought of the 1930s, the above-ground portion of the glacier was reduced to a permanent snowfield. The glacier is now considered to be a rock glacier, since the remaining ice is now buried in the talus. In 1994, the rocks parted, revealing a crevasse in the buried glacier. One witness described it as being "40 feet thick at least" Emerald Lake is a small proglacial lake which lies at the terminal moraine left behind by the now mostly vanished Timpanogos Glacier. The blue color of Emerald Lake is an indicator of the buried glacial ice.

Brigham Young University Centennial Carillon Tower

The BYU Centennial Carillon is a carillon on the campus of Brigham Young University in Provo, Utah. The bell tower was erected in 1975 to commemorate the one hundredth anniversary of the school's founding. Built in a simple, modern style designed by architect Fred L. Markham, it stands 97 feet tall and contains 52 bells. The bells range in size from 25 lbs to 4,730 lbs. The carillon tolls a tune based on the hymn "Come, Come, Ye Saints," followed by the hour, and tolls a chime on the half-hour. The hour and half-hour strikes are controlled by an automated system. Carillonneurs may also play the instrument by means of a keyboard located directly below the belfry, in a small room reached by a spiral staircase that ascends through the center of the tower. BYU is owned by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and its carillon is the only such instrument the church owns. LDS churches rarely feature bell towers, and the only temple to contain even a single bell is the Nauvoo Illinois Temple.

Research on plasma, atomic processes, lasers, high-pressure physics, nan-technology, acoustics, and cold fusion have been conducted here. It is the home of two modern TEMs. The Royden G. Derrick Planetarium is also in the building. This 119-seat facility with a 39-foot acoustically-treated dome was built in 2005 to replace the smaller, outdated Sarah Barrett Summerhays Planetarium. In the summer of 2006 a new dome was installed on the ESC's observatory to better allow for astronomical study on campus. The building also has several acoustics labs including two anechoic chambers and a reverberation chamber for performing acoustics research. The 5th and 6th floors of the ESC constitute the Orson Pratt Observatory. In the early years of the ESC, James A. Jensen's dinosaur displays were often in the lobby. However, since the building of the BYU Earth Science Museum, dinosaur displays are less common. The main lobby of the building is noted for its Foucault pendulum. It also houses a student-run restaurant, the Pendulum Court, during the fall and winter semesters. The ESC was the first building at BYU to have an elevator.
