Gaze at the twinkling lights above and below. The Diamond Fork area of Spanish Fork Canyon is known for being an outstanding area for stargazing. It’s distant enough from the cities to provide dark skies. Alternatively, head up into the foothills above Spanish Fork and Salem for an expansive view of the city lights in Utah Valley.
Shop Historic Downdown 53
With its historic architecture and variety of unique, locally owned shops, downtown Spanish Fork is a great place to spend an afternoon. From clothing to antiques, musical instruments to books, and games to gifts, it can all be found here. When shopping wears you out, there’s restaurant options to choose from as well as businesses specifically centered on satisfying your sweet tooth.
