A Sundance Moonlight Ride is the Perfect Date Idea

As the sun goes down around the Wasatch Mountains in Utah, vivid hues of pink, purple, and indigo kiss the sky like the brush strokes of an artist. Dusky mountain peaks jut out against the horizon holding up the twinkling light of the stars. And hung in the middle of it all, Earth’s moon, serenely aglow, softens the darkness of night. And you, sit in a lift like a carousel in the sky with your love on the Sundance Moonlight Ride--your perfectly planned date. Sound magical? Hop on a Sundance Moonlight Ride and see for yourself!

Here in Provo, UT, there’s plenty of ways to enjoy the company of your significant other. Whether you’re hiking up a mountain or out to dinner at one of our fine restaurants in town, there are some great ways to make the most of Provo. You’ll find those and more in the free Vacation Guide from Hines Mansion!
