A sharp autumn light cuts across Center Street as your group pulls their phones from pockets and the Let’s Roam app hums to life. You stand at 45 Center St, the starting pin on a route that threads through civic plazas, public art, and the quiet stone face of the Provo Tabernacle — each stop offering a riddle or a challenge that nudges you toward local stories. The city’s skyline is framed by the Wasatch Range; the foothills watch with a slow, geological patience that dates to shifting glaciers and river-carved valleys.
