This review is for Cecret Lake from Albion Base which was a ~4.5 miles round trip that took ~2.5…read morehours to complete. Trail starts from a ski resort which means it would be difficult or inaccessible during the winter! Extremely diverse terrain; stunning views from beginning to end. The last stretch up to the lake was steep and rocky! AllTrails map recommended. Short video of the hike for those interested! https://youtu.be/zkHFyRgwxMQ

We have hiked Cecret Lake many times and enjoyed this spectacular hike at Alta Ski Area. It's…read moreespecially outstanding in the summer when the wildflowers are peaking in colorful arrays. Our boys love climbing the many large rocks on the way to Cecret Lake, and we also enjoy traversing around the lake. If you're more adventurous, you can hike up to Sugarloaf Lift and check out the ski runs.

Dylan jumped off the side of the course with me cause I was scared, awesome time and a very nice…read moreinstructor. Very worth the cost.

We had a pleasant experience. Somehow I accidentally reserved a pontoon for the following weekend,…read morebut they were able to accommodate us today, thankfully! Everyone is nice & friendly. Check in was easy and they go through all the do's & dont's of using the boat. The pontoon we reserved was the cheapest, but it was really nice compared to ones we've rented in the past at other lakes/rivers. Had Bluetooth speakers which added to the experience. We were bummed out the weather was a bit crappy so I felt like we didn't get to fully enjoy the experience. Also, unless you plan to jump off the boat and swim/float etc., there's no where to beach it to hang out, and you are told to stay 150 feet away from the edges due to shallow water and rocks. The water was a chilly 52 for Memorial Day weekend and without sun and warm temps we didn't get into the water. We ended up returning our rental early due to rain, but checking the boat back in was easy. I definitely recommend renting if you're spending a day here. It's got gorgeous views and it's very big. There were some cool teepees out of what looked like driftwood or something along the South Eastern section that merges into Provo River. There's beautiful homes along northern edges as well.

Everything about this place has gone downhill. Does no one clean the fitness studios, the gyms or…read morethe lockers? I watched a guy in my aerobics class drip sweat globs all over the floor and mat, then walk away. Gross. I was the last person out and not a single person came into clean. The same with the weightroom and the pickleball court- no one wipes anything down. The only attendants in the place are a couple of nice college kids at the front desk who smile and wave then go back to their screens. You walk around the space and although there are plenty of members, it feels vacant and neglected. Not to mention their sporadic fitness classes. With no pool September-May, can you really justify $95-175/mo for two strength classes in the morning and one at 6p, and no evening classes at all Thursday-Sunday?? Momentum Climbing Gym has four Utah locations, amazing climbing walls, yoga classes AND weightroom for $60/mo. Just saying. Not to mention that the JCC classes are often taught by non-certified, 'soft' U students who seem to have gotten their routines from YouTube. The JCC management is more interested in collecting your money than providing an exceptional, sanitary experience. They act like they are doing you a favor instead of the other way around. In fact, I recently contemplated a small claims case and assault charges after one of their fitness coaches put his hands on me. I had purchased a six-month family membership through a fundraising auction for the Humane Society and when they found my resistance to a rude, handsy, out of shape "coach" (for a ski conditioning class that would have actually cost me an additional fee), they voided my membership without reimbursing me for the remaining months. I was in shock. Let me preface by saying that I was fine terminating the membership as I only wanted to be by a pool (despite their incredibly uncomfortable plastic lounge chairs) and they close it right after Labor Day. Plus, it's a 30-minute drive for me that includes college and hospital traffic nearly 24/7. I already belong to two other fitness centers closer to home. But their behavior calls into question whether you want to trust this gym to treat customers with respect. They are well within their rights to banish me but they should not be entitled to keep my money! Check out this policy sited from the CEO when I demanded the return of $350: The JCC has "the right to terminate memberships and/or deny entry at its discretion." And they keep your money?! Sounds like fraud to me. Do you really want to join a club that operates this way? They don't like your clothes, your smell, your dissatisfaction, your religion, your bluntness and you're out... and we keep all your money. Just think twice and then go somewhere else where they value customers. In the end, I decided not to fight in court because my friends reminded me that I can still get the tax write-off as a donation to the Humane Society. Now THAT is an organization that deserves my money.

I've been wanting to get back on an exercise plan for some time now. Most gyms gave me the creeps…read morewith how sterile or intense they felt and I just couldn't commit. But it was easy to do so with the J. The JCC feels more like my childhood YMCA. The facility is bright and feels like an actual community where people know each other and remember your name. The classes are so varied and that goes for the attendees as well. The instructors are very encouraging and accommodating at whichever level you are at and I just really love the staff here. If you're interested in a less intimidating gym experience, grab a guest pass at the front desk and check the JCC out.
