Travel & Tourism

Adventure awaits in breathtaking Provo, Utah at the 37th annual International Double Reed Society Conference, July 22-26, 2008. Located just a short drive south of Salt Lake City in the shadow of majestic 11,750-foot Mount Timpanogos, the Provo/Orem area is home to 205,000 and is consistently ranked by Money Magazine as one of the top 20 places to live in the United States and among the top 5 cities for families in Kiplingers’ Personal Finance Magazine. Home to two universities, Brigham Young University and Utah Valley University, the Utah Valley area is a perfect mix of academic, cultural, athletic, and outdoor activities. Whether your idea of adventure is dining and the spa at Robert Redfords’ Sundance Resort, fly-fishing on the Provo River hiking to Timpanogos Cave National Monument, or strolling through 55 acres of immaculately groomed gardens at Thanksgiving Point, we have an adventure for you.
