For more late night fun check out High Country Rafting Moonlight Tours up Provo Canyon next to Vivian Park. This trip takes about two hour and comes with a complimentary soft drink. All the guides are CPR and first-aid certified and from personal experience very friendly. Provo Canyon is beautiful at night filled with stars and moonlight. Some tips to enjoy your time on the river: wear shoes that can get wet, clothing that doesn't hold water (so no cotton), have dry clothing in your car for the ride home, get ready to splash each other (it adds to the fun), if you bring a phone or camera put it in a ziplock bag to help keep it dry, and don't bring anything you are not willing to loss to the river. There is a minimum of 4 people required for the trip, so grap some friends, kids, significant other, ect and own that river.
Time: 9:00 pm
Price: $59 Adult, $44 Children
Location: Provo Canyon Next to Vivian Park, Provo, UT 84604
Here is a video of us rafting the Provo River. It would be even more magical at night.

Our last fun idea for some moonlight magic is the Moonlight Half Marathon at Jolly's Ranch in Mapleton. The winner of this Midnight Half isn't who comes in first, it's who ever crosses the line closes to midnight. Start whenever you think you need to cross the finish at midnight. No timing devices allowed, so everyone has a chance to win this one. A party will follow the race with ice cream, drinks, food, ect. Some glow in the dark

lights will be supplied, but you can buy extras as well. Lighted costumes are encouraged (can you say Tron?). All the money from this race will go to the Mapleton Parkway Trail to put in a running trail along parts of the old canal road.
Time: 9:00 pm
