Provo, Mountain-framed city in Utah, United States.
The city extends between the eastern Wasatch Range mountains and Utah Lake, creating a natural corridor at 1387 meters above sea level.
Mormon pioneers established Fort Utah in 1849, naming the settlement after French-Canadian explorer Étienne Provost who traveled through the region in 1825.
Brigham Young University shapes the local environment with its extensive research programs, sporting events, and student-driven initiatives throughout the academic year.
The public transportation system includes regular bus services connecting downtown, university areas, and surrounding communities with direct routes to Salt Lake City.
The Peaks Ice Arena, which hosted events during the 2002 Winter Olympics, stands as a permanent winter sports facility for regional athletes.
