Ephraim has a college town lifestyle near La Sal Mountains recreation
Horses and homesteads are common in the countryside of Sanpete Valley, but a population of 6,100 makes Ephraim the largest city in the county. “There are two reasons at the top that bring people here, the first being that it’s rural,” says Realtor David Sedlak of Sanpete Valley Realty. “And everything’s cheaper.” The town's location between the La Sal and San Pitch mountains adds highland recreation to Main Street retail, and Snow College, a community college in town, hosts events throughout the year.

In the center of town, downtown Ephraim is home to a variety of local businesses. Sedlak, who has a decade of experience in the area, says the entire city is community driven. “Everyone tries to stay local.” The Malt Shop serves a ’50s theme and diner staples, including an assortment of milkshakes. Other options include casual Mexican restaurant Jose’s Cafe and Roy’s Pizza, a popular spot for college students. Meanwhile, local shops include the board game store BenGamin Games and the florist Tilted Tulip Floral & Vintage. Towne Theatre shows movies in a historic building that dates to the 1920s. For groceries, a Walmart Supercenter is located on the north side of the city.

Heritage Park is right behind the Ephraim Public Library on Main Street, making it an ideal spot to read in the shade next to a picnic pavilion and an all-abilities playground. Canyon View Park, on the south side of Ephraim, offers a splash pad, a BMX track and a volleyball court. Its hills make it a popular sledding spot in the wintertime. Five miles away, Manti-La Sal National Forest has ATV and hiking trails with panoramic ridgeline views. “The famous mountain is Horseshoe Mountain by Spring City, but everyone is going up to Skyline Drive,” Sedlak says. The well-traveled road features views of Sanpete Valley and access to alpine meadows and lakes.
