Some of my favorite towns to visit during the fall season include Garden City, Eden, and even Midway. But, there is one town in Utah County that is often overlooked but easily tops the list — Alpine. This charming town in Utah County is actually one of the most beautiful towns in Utah and when autumn arrives, it comes alive with vibrant colors. In fact, it’s so beautiful that it is impossible to stay indoors.

Alpine is located in northeastern Utah County and sits near the foothills of American Fork Canyon. It is one town that is experiencing significant growth and today, more than 10,000 people call it home.

This town is known for its many city parks including Legacy Park, Burgess Park, and Moyle Park. During the fall, when the weather starts to cool, these parks are not only beautiful but are the perfect place for a picnic, a ball game, or even for a simple stroll.

Of course, no trip to Alpine is complete unless you take a drive on the Alpine Loop.

This two-hour scenic drive is one of the best ways to experience the fall colors in Utah and is where you can experience the most vibrant reds, golds, and yellows.
Seriously, you won’t want to forget a camera — this drive is breathtaking!

You can also pay a visit to Timpanogos Cave National Monument. During the autumn months, the crowds are less and the views are stunning.

Just a short drive from Alpine are several hiking trails that will completely immerse you in fall foliage and gorgeous views. It’s a great way to spend time outside before the snow and chilly temperatures arrive.

One of my personal favorite hikes is the Tibble Fork Loop Trail. This is a 4.2-mile loop trail that is quite challenging but if you hike when fall foliage is at its peak — it’s pure bliss.
And before you leave town, make sure you stop by Cherry Hills Farms Alpine on the historic site of Burgess Orchards. During the fall, stop by for fresh apples and peaches. The apples you can even pick right off the tree.

There really is nothing like Alpine during the fall. It’s a town that easily comes alive this time of the year.

Visit the official City of Alpine website for more information. And if you plan to stay for a while in this charming town, book a stay in a hotel or a vacation home.
