UDOT lists the Alpine Loop seasonal gate as open. Where in Highland or Alpine does the whole street show up when something is going on? Reply with the park or the corner, and we will read every one. You can also send us that spot directly. My pick this week is Viking Day over the Scarecrow Festival. Viking Day is free, and the Scarecrow Festival is $24 for adults online. The strongman competitions settle it. Thanksgiving Point members get the scarecrows free, so for them it is closer. That is Trip #5. Merge kindly on West State Street. |
