John Burgoyne/Google Before venturing to the southern part of the state, we need a sweet treat. There’s no better place to go than Aggie Creamery. Part of Utah State University’s College of Agriculture and Applied Science, this creamery is a must-visit in Logan. Try the popular Aggie Blue Mint in a cone or the lemon custard — it has the perfect amount of lemon! 750 N 1200 E, Logan, UT 84321, USA
- Crystal Hot Springs, Honeyville
Edgar Arellano/Google Not far from Logan, you’ll come to Crystal Hot Springs. This hot springs resort in Honeyville contains the highest mineral content found in any hot spring in the entire world! The hot spring temperature ranges from 120 degrees to 134 degrees and if that’s a little too hot for your liking, check out the cold spring less than 50 feet away from the natural hot spring. The cold spring boasts a temperature of 65 degrees to 75 degrees. 8215 UT-38, Honeyville, UT 84314, USA
- Silver Lake, Big Cottonwood Canyon
Hannah Bakker/AllTrails Located in Big Cottonwood Canyon is Silver Lake, a gorgeous alpine lake. On this road trip stop, you can enjoy a little fresh air, admire Utah’s natural beauty, and stretch your legs on the 0.8-mile loop trail around the lake. This is a boardwalk trail that is ADA-accessible. If you desire, you can even bring a fishing pole and try to catch a fish or two before continuing on your journey. Silver Lake, Utah 84121, USA
- Timpanogos Cave National Monument, American Fork

It is only a 1.5-mile trail to the cave but the hike can be challenging and difficult, particularly for younger kids and for novice hikers. But, time spent exploring this magnificent cave will be totally worth the effort. Timpanogos Cave National Monument, 2038 Alpine Loop Rd, American Fork, UT 84003, USA

Cluff’s Carhop Café/Google As you continue your drive in southern Utah, you must enjoy a meal at Cluff’s Carhop Café in Fillmore. This family-owned café will take you right back to the 1950s. The inside is filled with vintage items and the menu is packed with diner favorites. Everything is made with quality ingredients, ensuring that each bite is delicious.
