Made fresh daily, Nielsen's Frozen Custard is a real treat. They serve chocolate, vanilla and a flavor of the day, or go for a concrete where you can create about any flavor you like. Our favorite is Coconut Cashew. Chocolate malted almond is another great one. They do not accept credit cards, so come with cash in hand.

You wouldn't expect this chocolate shop to have ice cream, but they make it themselves and it's awesome! Only about $1.50 for a large scoop of ice cream with at least 12 flavors to choose from. If you're a fan of ice cream, don't pass it up. Favorite Flavor: Cashew Trinidad.

It's really something to witness Vito single-handedly cranking out Philly Cheese Steaks at a phenomenal pace while a line of regulars forms to the door. He's only open 11am-2pm, and he sometimes runs out of food before then if he's busy. Order anything on the menu and you'll leave full and happy. Best Philly Cheese Steaks EVER! CASH ONLY, but he has an ATM on site.

Parks & Nature

The Mueller Park Trail is just a couple miles from Utah Mountain Home. This 13 mile long out-and-back trail is perfect for intermediate bikers and hikers. The trail begins at the Mueller Park Picnic Grounds where there is a fee for parking, or you can park further down the street for free. This trail is a local favorite, so try to visit during the week instead of when there are more people out on the weekend. The trail is open to hikers, mountain bikers and motorcycles. The lower half of the trail is easier, so a mid-route turnaround is an option for novice riders and hikers. Because of the compacted dirt, this also makes an excellent trail for running.

Snowbasin is usually thought of as a winter ski resort, but you might be surprised to know it has more than 26 miles of hiking and biking trails, which connect to Forest Service trails for nearly 50 miles of fun. The single track trails are well maintained and are available from the base of the mountain 7 days a week. Some trails can be accessed by gondola on weekends. The Grizzly Center offers full rental packages and trail maps. Hikers have access to the mountain biking trails, plus three trails that are just for hikers. The hiking trails lead to the crest of the ridge and offer breathtaking views of the valley below. Want more? There's a FREE 9 hole Disc Golf course at the base of the mountain. You can rent a Disc Golf Kit for $10. The Blues, Brews & BBQ Free Summer Concert Series has become a Sunday afternoon must for many locals. During the Summer, Snowbasin also offers guided tours every Saturday at 10:30am and Kids Adventure Tours every Sunday 2:30-5:30 for kids 7-12. Please note: Outside food and beverage are not allowed anywhere on the mountain.

This popular hike is great for all ages. It's just 1.5 miles round trip to the waterfall flowing through a donut-shaped hole in the mountainside. Drive 9 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon. Turn right and go about 1 mile and past the Jordan Pines Picnic Area. The trailhead is at the south end of the parking area.

Timpanogos Cave is a U.S. National Monument managed by the National Park Service. The 1.5 mile trail to the caves is steep, gaining nearly 1000' in elevation, but is still considered an easy hike that can be done by most because it's paved and allows plenty of resting areas. To view the caves requires a guided tour, which is $8 per adult. There are three caves connected by man-made tunnels. The average temperature inside the caves is 46 degrees farenheit, so bring a jacket. CLOSED between October and May. If 3 miles round trip doesn't cut it for you, an alternate would be Mt. Timpanogos, the 2nd Highest mountain in the Wasatch range. The Timpooneke Trail is a 15 mile out-and-back trail. Go for it!

Utah has spectacular birding opportunities with this being one of the best in the country.
