After running around all day, it's nice to kick back at the Avon Theatre. This 40s style building was remodeled in 2006, but still has an old-time feel. It seats 400 and offers 3-D features and the snack bar has much to offer. - Deep Creek -
Visit this peaceful reservoir bordering the mountain, bring your kayak or water sports equipment and have fun on the water! Many people love fly fishing at Deep Creek too. Travelers tell us there's a seven mile trail that hikers use there as well. Have lunch on the picnic tables or take a dip! - Fishing -
There are hundreds of spots to fish in Utah! Some of Utah's most famous rivers are the Green River, the Provo River and Huntington Creek. The state is known for their rainbow trout and they live most commonly in places like the Strawberry Reservoir.
It can get hot in Utah during the summer. A lot of our travelers say that hikers would benefit from long, light pants and shirts to protect against the suns rays. The real kicker is that the nights can get chilly so pack a sweater too. It can be very dry, so moisturizers can be your friend. A lot of travelers suggest bringing a hat too to block out some sun on those bright days and there is also the occasional rain storm so make sure you check the weather and pack accordingly. A water proof backpack is always a good idea to store your camera and supplies in, even if you're only strolling the town. For more packing tips, watch our Sundance Vacations Packing Tips video.
