About This Event
Kick off the new year with purpose and fresh mountain air on a New Year’s Resolution Hike up Rock Canyon Trail in Provo.
This scenic, moderate trail is the perfect place to reflect, set intentions, and start 2025 on the right foot—literally. Along the way, you’ll pass through peaceful winter landscapes, from the canyon’s rugged walls to stands of towering pines and sweeping mountain views.
At the top overlook, we’ll take a moment to pause, share resolutions (if you’d like), and soak in the beauty of the canyon while sipping hot cider—or your beverage of choice. Whether your goal is to spend more time outside, challenge yourself, or simply reset, this hike offers a meaningful and refreshing way to begin the year.
