About the Cities
Starting in Orem, UT
Full guide →Orem is a city in Utah's Wasatch Range.
Arriving in Fairview, UT
Full guide →Fairview is in Central Utah. Founded in 1859. The town's high elevation provided a fair enough view of the valley to inspire the choice of name in 1864. The first settlers from Mt. Pleasant had named the site North Bend. Fairview became the center of a wealthy agricultural district which in 1900 supported four general stores, one furniture store, one harness shop, two hotels, one butcher shop, a planing mill, half a dozen steam sawmills, situated at different points in the mountains, good public schools and a great number of comfortable homes.
