273196 No. UT: First day of Fall at Primrose Overlook
- This event has passed.
About This Event
Primrose Overlook is one of the best fall hikes in Utah County, traversing meadow after meadow of aspens before reaching a stunning viewpoint overlooking Sundance.
High alpine views abound, and while the trail includes a couple of steeper stretches, it mostly follows a moderate climb—making it a great option for many hikers.
At the top, we’ll toast to fall with a delicious cocktail named after the same flower as Primrose Cirque.
