Pie Shake from Lava Grill at Veyo Pool

This cool treat is made from a slice of pie from the popular Veyo Pies blended with ice cream. Not only is the shake fantastic, but so is the scenery. You’ll be eating this shake next to a beautiful pool located in an amazing canyon!

Lemonade Mint Supreme (Royden’s Lemonade) from Xetava

Pretty much the best drink of my life. This refreshing lemonade is blended with ice, vanilla, coconut, and fresh mint. When I say fresh I truly mean it; they pick the mint right there onsite while prepping it!
