Before. This is my first time being here in 3 years so it's pretty new to me again.
First of all I dont see why people think people here are so nice. I havent seen it yet. People are so awkward trying so hard to avoid eye contact and look at you in a very judgmental way and nobody waves or head nods or anything. Even cash registers everywhere I've been so far except the BYU store dont want to say anything to you.
Second is the mountains are pretty in the provo area. Going through the mountain pass was the most green I'd seen west of OKC. I'd still take the Blue Ridge mountains but these mountains are very big and in some places very pretty. It's still too boring and not colorful enough for my taste though.
