Lakeside Campground (nice!)
On the bike trail.
Jimmy at 500' Bridal Veil waterfall,
which cascades from the clifftop on Provo Canyon's East side.
We spied paragliders when we stopped at Borders Books for a cuppa Seattle's Best Coffee in The Shops at Riverwoods when our bike ride was finished.
Also at this neat shopping mall were a number of restaurants. After we showered and cleaned up, we returned to the mall and Tucanos Brazilian Grill for dinner (above and below). Here's what the menu sez: "Delicious Brazilian grilled (Churrasco) cuisine served in a fun, festive setting. No other dining experience can compare. In this hemisphere, anyway." We agree wholeheartedly - we ate wholeheartedly, too! Assorted breads, fried bananas, best salad bar we've ever been to, plus the Churrasco entree selections of beefs, poultry and pork. I favored the grilled fresh veggies and pineapple over the meats, but everything was delish! We needed to be rolled out of the restaurant in wheelbarrows.
This is the second time we've ridden Provo Canyon's bike trail (20-mile R/T). It takes us up to the train station in Vivian - ten miles on a gentle grade up and ten miles down. On this trip the Provo River was in full spate due to lots of recent rains and snow melt - amazing to see its power. We saw two (crazy?) kayakers tackle this water in short whitewater kayaks. Fun to see, but I think biking is safer ... at least on this day!
