Natural scenery surrounds Cascade, a mountain town near Provo Canyon

Cascade gets its name from the mighty mountain known for providing stunning views to residents across Orem. “Cascade is in a really beautiful area,” says Realtor Jason Knight. “It’s also right near the mouth of Provo Canyon, which gives major appeal for outdoor enthusiasts.” Centrally seated at the base of the mountain, Cascade residents enjoy living in modestly priced homes with scenic and often unobstructed sights. Here, larger homes cost less money than in other mountainside neighborhoods like Windsor and Orchard.

Ziplining, hiking trails and the Provo Beach amusement center

You’ll likely run into at least one other family when visiting Cascade Park. This popular family hangout spot includes a brightly colored playground with a zipline and swings for big kids and toddlers. Athletes looking for extra practice or friendly competition can use the pickleball, basketball and volleyball courts. A large field and pavilion with BBQ pits provide suitable setups for outdoor birthday parties, end-of-season little league celebrations and summer gatherings. Drive 2 miles east and arrive at the Indian Road Trailhead; this 5-minute drive also places you at the mouth of Provo Canyon, where hikers can camp, rock climb, and explore Mount Timpanogos Park. Enjoy family outings at Provo Beach — a local amusement center. Inside, you’ll find a bowling alley, an arcade and even an indoor “flow board” that allows you to practice your surfing skills.
