Things to Do in Pleasant Grove, Utah

Pleasant Grove sits under Mount Timpanogos between American Fork and Lindon. Settlers arrived in 1850 and first called it Battle Creek, and the town has held Strawberry Days since 1922, now each June. Battle Creek Falls, a 50-foot waterfall a short hike above town, is the local favorite, and the Christa McAuliffe Space Education Center is here too.
