Located just 30 minutes from the U, Green Acres is a great place to pick apples for the day. You can fill an 8-quart-sized bucket with apples of your choosing for only $2.

Alpine Loop
Consider driving the Alpine Loop. Here, you can find scenic views of Mount Timpanogos and look upon the aspen trees that are growing in the Sundance Mountain Resort. The start of the Alpine Loop is just 1 hour away from campus. After you finish your drive, grab peach cobbler at Burgess Orchards.
