Things I Miss Most About Provo

It has been a long time since I left Provo, but this post has been on my heart for a while because it was my home for a good 7 years after high school graduation. Here's everything I miss about Provo the town (not the people- that's a different post).

The Unique Food:
  • Hruska's Kolaches. You HAVE to try raspberry creme, and their savory rolls too. It makes me feel so grown up to be buying an international breakfast, and at $2/roll, I can absolutely afford to splurge every once in a while. 
  • BYU Creamery- Peanut Butter Trails, German Chocolate Crunch, Graham Canyon. Flavors I haven't been able to find since. 😭 Also- their mint chocolate brownie chocolate milk!!!
  • Sushi Ya. Higher end on the price range, but worth every. single. penny. Possibly the most delicious food ever. You have to try the spicy mountain crunch roll.

Close and Awesome Nature:
  • Rock Canyon- for walks, rock climbing! And a 3 hour squaw peak hike. I can't believe we used to be within walking distance and didn't go more often.
  • Mount Timp. You gotta do the classic overnight hike to see the sunrise on the mountain.
  • Provo River next to the Riverwoods. If you approach it from the Riverwoods parking lot, it is one of the most peaceful places in town.
BYU Stuff:
  • All the free and high quality museums, specifically- Bean Museum and the MOA. Did I say FREE?!?!
  • Clean, beautiful places to be in quiet by yourself and study. You have to try the ground level of the JFSB right underneath the museum. Just thinking about those chairs and view makes me calm down.
  • BYU Library. Books galore! Places to eat food! Countless desks.
  • Dance Performances- especially World of Dance, Christmas Around the World, and Rec Nights for folk dance in the RB. Wish I could attend just one more.

Provo Library
One of the most beautiful and historical buildings in town. So many resources. So many free programs. I just like looking at their big beautiful staircases.


I would love to hear what you love about Provo!
