Protect what's already here
The canyon is already a destination.
People come to Provo Canyon every day to hike, bike, fish, boat, ski, picnic, explore and spend time together.
And nearly all of it depends on access through the same canyon gateway.

One canyon.
One primary gateway.
The same roads used to reach parks, trails, the river, Sundance and Deer Creek also carry everyday canyon traffic.
Traffic isn't just about traffic.
It determines how easily people can access everything beyond it.
The proposed Vesper development
Now add a major entertainment destination to the gateway.
- 20,000
- Proposed amphitheater seats
- 6,500
- Proposed parking spaces
- 150,000 sq. ft.

The proposal also references hotel and villa lodging, restaurants and bars, retail, and large event programming. All figures are as proposed in applicant and campaign materials, and could change as the application is amended.
