Date Idea for Rock Canyon, Provo, UT
Take a date to a cave:
Here is a good date idea if you live in the Utah Valley area. Did you know that there is an easily accessible cave up Rock Canyon? I am not talking about that old mine shaft at the mouth of the canyon that doesn’t go anywhere. It is farther back and is a good place to take a date (girl/boyfriend or spouse) and tell ghost stories. You will have to crouch a bit to get through the entrance but you will never be on your hands and knees. Immediately after the opening, the cave widens and provides enough room to stand. It goes back about 50 feet. I recommend going at night. Once inside turn all of your flashlights off and then tell those scary stories. Just remember to not leave any trash behind.
Directions:
Hike up Rock Canyon about a mile. Eventually you will come to a point that the trail crosses the river on a wooden bridge. At this point do not cross, but stay on the south side of the river. About 30 feet past the bridge follow a south-bound trail that leads you up the gully. Continue up the gully for about 300 feet when you should see the trail veer west. This takes you over a little rise with a big boulder to you right. Walk strait forward until you hit a wall that is known by climbers as “The Zoo.” Turn south and you will see the cave entrance about 50 feet away.
If you have any other good date ideas for the outdoors, let me know (summit@livetheoutdoors.com.) Thanks.
