The community is located in Provo Canyon along the Provo River and U.S. Route 189, about 12 miles (19 km) northeast of Provo. It is situated between Mount Timpanogos on the northwest, Wildwood on the east, Cascade Mountain on the south, and Bridal Veil Falls on the west.[2][3] The community was named after Vivian McBride (daughter of the owner of the first grocery store and post office on the Provo East Bench).[4]
