Eat a Famous Raspberry Shake at Bear Lake
Food & DrinkEasySummerYear-round
Drive to the 'Caribbean of the Rockies' for a thick, fresh fruit shake—a quintessential Northern Utah treat even in the cooling autumn air.
Itinerary tips
- 1Budget roughly one hour for the scenic drive from Logan to Garden City via US-89 through Logan Canyon.
- 2Order your shake with a spoon rather than a straw because the fresh fruit chunks are usually too thick to sip.
- 3Visit Quick-n-Tasty or LaBeau’s in Garden City, as these are the most iconic spots for the original recipe.
- 4Bring a light jacket even in summer, as the canyon and lakeside temperatures drop significantly once the sun goes down.
- 5Use the public parking lot at Garden City Park if the small restaurant lots are full during peak weekends.
- 6Plan for long queues during the Raspberry Days festival in early August, or visit midweek to avoid the crowds.
