The Watkins in Alpine host an Alpine Easter Walk on the weekend of Easter. It is free to visit and you have the opportunity to take a very short, self-guided walk through scenes from the New Testament. The Alpine Easter Walk will only take your family about 15 minutes, but the reverent atmosphere helps bring a special feeling to the season.
They recommend you watch this video before attending since they won’t be showing it on location anymore. My Kingdom is Not of this World.
The Alpine Easter walk begins with a small altar with an empty pen where a lamb would have been kept. A sign talked a bit about the law of Moses, and how lambs were sacrificed, which opened up some good conversation with our kids.
Behind the altar and the lambs stood three huge crosses. There was no ornamentation or any sort of details, just three rugged crosses, but they did stir some feelings in our little group. There was a scripture next to each Easter symbol you visited.
The final scene is located just up the hill. There is a replica of the tomb with a large stone rolled away. Small groups can enter the tomb and find that it is empty. We really loved this visual on a beautiful Easter afternoon. It brought alive the story that we’ve told to our kids so many times. There is generally a short line as families wait to enter the tomb together, so please be patient.
The Alpine Easter Walk is open April 3-6, 2026 from 10 am-dusk. You can walk through any time during those hours. Located at the corner of Eastview Lane and Watkins Circle in Alpine. The official address is WATKINS’ FARM at 410 E Watkins Circle in Alpine, Utah.
Directions
To find the Alpine Easter Walk, make your way to Alpine via the Timpanogos Highway or 100 E in American Fork. Head north on 5300 W in Highland toward Alpine, continue north through the round about. This road becomes Alpine Main Street and then continues up the hill and becomes Heritage Hills Drive. Watch for Eastview Ln. Park on the road and walk to the Alpine Easter Walk. Here is a map to help you find your way.
hi Natalie! thanks for all this. fun to watch your boys turn into men! ;-). do you have another list I’m missing that would direct me to (other things) to do around this Alpine Easter Walk since it is only a 15 min. event and we’re about 40 min away?
