Big Lots, a Busy Station, and a Canyon: American Fork Lockouts
The Meadows is Woodbury Corp.'s 850,000-square-foot shopping center, with Best Buy and Ross alongside the bigger anchors. A full cart, a child on one hip, and a fob dropped in the cargo area is all it takes to lock keys in a hatchback. Summer afternoons heat a closed car fast, so if a child or pet is locked inside, call 911 before you call anyone else.
Commuters fill the American Fork FrontRunner station, which opened in December 2012 with 553 free spaces and is reached from I-15 through the Pioneer Crossing interchange, the second diverging diamond to open in the U.S. A car that has sat there since dawn may be a long way from its spare key. Tell us which part of the lot you're in and we'll find you.
The city stretches from Utah Lake, where the American Fork Boat Harbor sits at the end of 100 West, to the canyon road toward Timpanogos Cave National Monument, which logged 92,031 visitors in 2025. In between, Steel Days, first held in 1945 and named for the Geneva mill, runs eight days with a car show, a car cruise, and a carnival at Mary and Art Dye Park.
