Wasatch Mountains east of Provo, Utah


		Wasatch Mountains east of Provo, Utah Utah: Provo and scenic drive on US 189 into East Provo Canyon & the Wasatch Mountains east of Provo. May 25, 2007. We are in Lakeside RV-Park on west Center Street in Provo (next door to Utah Lake State Park located on Utah Lake). We forgot all about Memorial Day until late last week when "the lights came on". Joyce immediately got on the cell-phone and started trying to locate a place for us to settle in for the long Memorial Day weekend. She got lucky and found the last vacancy at Lakeside RV-Park. That is why we are here but we are happy to be here. It is a nice park costing 27.41 per-night for FHU and plenty of shade from mature cottonwood trees. Down the street is Utah Lake State Park where rates are $18 per-night for water & electric and central dump station. They were full or we would have probably been there. Either would be just fine, in our opinion, although Lakeside RV is much nicer and overflows with more expensive RV's -- if you get my drift.

Wild rose in East Provo Canyon of the Wasatch Mountains Joyce snapped this picture of a wild rose while we were walking to a waterfall in East Provo Canyon. Obsidian or a large bolder that looks like obsidian This is a large boulder at the bottom of the canyon near that waterfall. It seems so odd seeing this obsidian boulder here with all this sedimentary rock. View of Wasatch Mountains from Sundance Resort The view from Sundance Resort is inspiring. I can see why the place is such an attraction.
