This is the place that Al Capone said was too wild for his taste in the 1920s. And while we’ve replaced bootlegging, prostitution and gambling with skiing, climbing, kayaking and mountain biking, Ogden’s soul will always be a bit rowdy. If you want homogenized, we’re probably not for you. But if you’re rolling around the western United States with a rack full of skis, snowboards, bikes, kayaks, climbing gear and an appetite for life, welcome to one of the funkiest places you’ve never been. l i v e Historic 25th Street ---PAGE BREAK--- 2 Authentic CONTENTS Ogden Area Overview 4 Useful/Useless Ogden Facts 5 Alpine Skiing 6 Nordic Skiing 10 Trails 12 Mountain Biking 16 Cycling 20 Climbing/Bouldering 22 Paddlesports 24 Fly Fishing 28 Watersports 30 Motorsports 32 Golf 34 Scenic Drives 36 Parks 38 Ogden Valley 40 Historic 25th Street 42 Historic Attractions 44 Shopping 46 Outfitters 50 Entertainment 52 Arts 56 Spas & Fitness 58 Dining 60 Coffee, Clubs & Pubs 66 Lodging 68 Camping 72 Services 74 Conference Center and Theater 76 Golden Spike Event Center 78 Weber State University 80 Ogden Marathon 82 Xterra USA Championships 84 Harvest Moon Celebration 86 Winter Dew Tour 88 Summer Celebrations 90 Event Calendar 92 Maps 94 www.visitogden.com 3 Unlike most community tourist brochures, this guidebook doesn’t list every place with a parking lot. You’ll notice an absence of ads within these pages. Local mountain athletes worked to assemble information that would be relevant to visitors and present it as accurately as possible. The following pages list the places we play, where we hang out when we’re not playing and locales we would personally vouch for. Any mistakes are ours. Feel free to point them out if you want. We’re the people you’ll see on mountain bikes, in kayaks, on skis or barstools around town. Welcome to Ogden. ---PAGE BREAK--- How we got here From about 400 - 1350 A.D., this area was home to the Great Salt Lake Fremont Indians. Following the Fremont culture, the Northern Shoshone and Goshute tribes inhabited the area. The first permanent settlement by people of European descent in the region that is now Utah was here and originally named Fort Buenaventura. Mormon settlers bought the fort for $1,950 in 1847. Shortly afterward, the transcontinental railroad met up here and began pretty much everything you see here today. why we stay here • Eleven national parks are less than a day’s drive from Ogden. • Three major ski resorts within 25 minutes, and additional seven within one hour, three cross-country ski areas and the nation’s only recreational ski jumping complex are less than an hour’s drive from downtown Ogden. • Over 210 miles of U.S. Forest Service maintained mountain biking, hiking and equestrian trails and over 20 federally maintained campgrounds. • Within the area, there are over 13,000 acres of fresh water for both motorized and non-motorized water sports. • Ogden is adjacent to 170,000 acres of National Forest. 4 Discover Useful/Useless Ogden Facts n Area population: 197,000 (approx.) n Settled: 1846 by Miles Goodyear n Elevation: 4,280 feet n Highest peak: Ben Lomond 9,712 feet n Average yearly snowfall: 65.3 inches n Average resort yearly snowfall: 450 inches n Average yearly rainfall: 18.9 inches n 45+ films/TV shot in Ogden area n Ogden was home to three venues during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games. n Weber County Library was one of the first public libraries in the nation to successfully automate its card catalog with a full bibliographic record. n Hudson Bay Co. fur trapper Peter Skeen Ogden, who the town is named after, never actually made it to Ogden. n Nolan Bushnell, inventor of the Pong video game and founder of Atari, Inc, was born in Ogden.

The airport is a hub for Delta Airlines with non-stop service from Salt Lake to 90 major cities with more than 500 daily flights. The Ogden area is easily accessed from any of the freeway exits between 341 and 354. It’s also accessible via Utah’s busiest municipal airport — the Ogden-Hinckley Airport — located just southwest of the city.

Shut Up Already! Safe to say, one of the reasons you requested this guidebook in the first place was that you’ve seen all the recent ink in various ski magazines regarding Ogden-area skiing. Fine. Welcome. Enjoy. Just keep it to yourself. There’s plenty to go around, but most locals are still coming to terms with seeing their favorite stashes splashed across magazine pages as ski meccas. The world got a glimpse of the area during the 2002 Olympic Winter Games when Snowbasin hosted the downhill, combined and super-G events. What the world didn’t see was all the off-piste and powder shots that abound in the area. 6 Skiing how to... START IT up Grab your morning java at Grounds for Coffee. If you already have your gear, hit the downtown location on Historic 25th Street (it’s probably closest to your hotel). If you’re renting equipment, the Grounds on Harrison Blvd. is a stone’s throw from Alpine Sports. KEEP IT GOING If you’re skiing Snowbasin, your sustenance is assured. Each lodge features a different themed cuisine prepared by chefs who’ve been trained around the world. WIND IT DOWN Union Grill in Historic Union Station (kind of hard to miss the huge building located at the west end of Historic 25th Street with the giant red neon sign that reads, “Union Station”), has unique menu offerings in proportions that will satisfy your empty belly after a long day on the mountain. If you’re still up for more, stroll up the street to The City Club for drinks and check out one of the greatest collections of rock roll memorabilia anywhere...all in a setting that puts Hard Rock Cafe to shame. If that’s your thing, hit the upper bowls at Snowbasin Resort or the powder country of Powder Mountain. If groom- ers are more your speed, both resorts offer plenty. If you’re just needing to get your ski legs on or get a newbie up to speed, hit Wolf Mountain. Ski Shuttle Ogden offers a shuttle service from downtown hotels and from the Valley condos to all three local resorts. For details on schedules and routes, visit www.visitogden.com or ask at the front desk of your local hotel. Alpine Snowbasin, No Name Run www.visitogden.com 7 ---PAGE BREAK--- SnowBasin Resort Skiing Magazine’s rankings of resorts put Snowbasin, a Sun Valley Resort, in its top ten while SKI Magazine’s readers’ survey consistently rank it in the top five for service, on-mountain food and lifts. Nearly 3,000 vertical feet on over 2,800 acres of varied terrain serviced by 12 lifts including two high-speed gondo- las providing a capacity of 14,500 skiers per hour: 7% novice, 29% intermediate, 34% expert and 30% expert only. The resort features a superpipe, three terrain parks and a tubing hill. Once you’ve skied the Needles Express Gondola, head over to the Strawberry Gondola or the John Paul Quad to experience skiing on the edge. Make sure you take time for lunch at any of the three lodges. 8 Skiing Powder Mountain Readers of SKI Magazine continually rank Powder Mountain in the top five for snow and also for value. Located just 19 miles northeast of Ogden, Powder Mountain, at 7,000 acres, boasts more acreage than any resort in the United States. With 2,200 feet of vertical terrain serviced by 7 lifts and snowcats: 25% novice, 40% interme- diate and 35% expert. Complete with two terrain parks. For an adventure, explore the untouched snow in the 1,200 acres of Powder Country and catch the shuttle back to the lifts. Well-lit night conditions will keep you on the mountain well after dark. Powder Mountain also features abundant terrain and instruction for the rapidly growing new sport of snowkiting. Wolf Mountain Wolf Mountain is arguably the best learning mountain in the western United States. It’s located approxi- mately 20 minutes from downtown Ogden. Four lifts service 1,000 vertical feet of primarily novice and intermediate terrain with some nice, steep faces. The Wolf’s Lair terrain park includes 20 features with boxes, rails and some good size jumps. Their Magic Carpet provides plenty of short runs for the little guys to get the hang of it. Wolf Mountain offers Utah’s largest night skiing operation, with specials almost every night that make “The Wolf” one of the most affordable skiing and riding hills in the West. Snowbasin, No Name Ridge Powder Mountain, Cache Bowl Wolf Mountain, Barney’s Way Snowbasin, John Paul Lodge www.visitogden.com 9 ---PAGE BREAK--- Nordic Nordic Utah’s snow is legendary among alpine skiers, but skinny skis reap all the benefits of our generous helpings of the white stuff. The local Nordic club, Ogden Nordic, hosts events and is actively involved in sharing their vast knowledge and resources. Hang out on a closed course with their masters team and get coached by some of the best. North Fork Park Campground North Fork Park was nominated as a potential venue for the Nordic and biathlon events of the 2002 Winter Olympic games. It’s located at the northern end of the Ogden Valley in Liberty. There’s a place to park vehicles and begin skiing on the summer roadways. The snow conditions here are very good throughout the winter. All levels of skiing ability can be found in this area, including serious backcountry skiing along the flanks of Ben Lomond Peak. Length: 12+ miles; groomed daily Difficulty: 40% easy, 40% moderate, 20% difficult Elevation: 5,500’ to 6,000’ 10 Skiing Pineview Reservoir Pineview Reservoir is located five miles east of Ogden accessed via Highway 39 (12th Street.) The best skiing is at Anderson Cove Campground when the snow conditions are good. Periodically a Nordic track is prepared that circles through the campground taking advantage of the rolling terrain and summertime roadways. Restrooms are open in the campground but are not maintained on a regular schedule. This area is classified easiest level with generally flat terrain with a few steep sections. Parking is limited at the campground entry roadway near the Host Cabin. Length: variable Difficulty: easy Elevation: 4,900’ to 4,950’ Art Nord Trailhead Art Nord Trailhead is found along State Road 226 — what locals call Old Snowbasin Road. During the winter months, the roadway is closed to vehicle traffic past Art Nord. This allows skiing and sledding on the road itself (once the snow depth allows it) and ends at another set of barriers near Snowbasin. Nordic skiers have a few options from this parking area: 1) Head north down Wheeler Canyon following the stream through the deep and shady canyon. 2) Cross the paved highway and follow the East Fork of Wheeler Creek trail ending at either the Snowbasin Road at Green Pond Trailhead or following the Middle Fork Trail back to the Old Snowbasin Road and back to the trailhead. 3) Ascend the main Wheeler Creek trail to end at the parking lot of Snowbasin. All levels of skiing difficulty level can be found in this area. The greatest dangers are in crossing live streams and some avalanche slide paths in Wheeler Canyon. A Nordic trail is groomed occasionally that follows the paved road toward Snowbasin or along the Main Wheeler Creek trail. A snowmachine packs a trail along the East and Middle Fork trails when needed. Length: 1.8 to 2.5 miles Difficulty: 80% moderate, 20% difficult Elevation: 5,500’ to 6,300’ Snowbasin Ski Area Snowbasin grooms and maintains 26 km of Nordic trails suitable for both skating and classic-style Nordic skiing. The trails start near the 2nd parking lot, where Nordic trail users may park. There is no charge for Snowbasin’s Nordic trails. For starter trails, choose between the Stadium, the Meadows Loop or Maples Loop. Gear and Nordic ski maps are available at Snowbasin. Length: 1 to 3.6 miles Difficulty: 70% easy, 20% moderate, 10% difficult Elevation: 5,500’ to 6,300’ ATTENTION DOG OWNERS: The impacts from dogs (tracks in the groomed trail or feces left on the trail) have become an issue of concern to both the Forest Service managers and those who groom the trails. We ask that those who take dogs on the groomed trails find ways to prevent or minimize these impacts. Snowbasin, Maples Trail www.visitogden.com 11 ---PAGE BREAK--- 12 Trails Hikin how to... how to... Start it UP Kaffe Mercantile at 1221 26th Street will get you rolling and in the mood for a day on the trails. Pull up a chair, open up a map and plan your day. KEEP IT GOING As varied as the trails in Ogden, so too are the choices for refuelling your body and mind. Choose from Utah’s only ceviche bar at Sonora Gill in The Junction to traditional Indian fare at Bombay Grill on Washington Blvd, or anything in between. WIND IT down Trail users need to end their day at Roosters Brewing Company and Restaurant on Historic 25th Street. Owners Pete and Kym are among the most passionate trail users/advocates in town. Chances are, at some point you passed Kym on the trail or hiked a section that Pete built himself. The food is as varied and eclectic as the decor and the handcrafted beer brewed behind the bar is some of the best you’ll ever sample. Take a hike! Virtually every inch of the area’s 210 miles of maintained trails are open to hikers and trail runners. Some trails are extremely popular with mountain bikers and equestrians. Most of the trails suggested below are ideally suited to hikers and you’ll find that you’re not sharing the trail with anyone but bipeds. Note that during snowcovered months, Ogden’s trail network offers ample opportunity for snowshoeing. Refer to www.weberpathways.org for detailed hiking and biking trail information. Taylor Canyon From either the top of 27th Street or the 29th Street Trailhead, follow the signs to Taylor Canyon. As you move deeper and higher into Taylor Canyon, the trail will switchback to the west and you’ll begin your ascent of Malan’s Peak. About halfway up, you’ll get a small taste of the view that awaits before switching back to the east for the final push. You’ll know when you’ve arrived at the peak. Soak in the view for awhile before either continuing up the trail into the basin or back down to town. Length: 1.5 miles, one way Difficulty: Moderate Elevation: 4,840’ to 6,400’ hidden valley There’s a reason this trail is appropriately named “Hidden Valley.” Locals want to keep this trail a secret and often place rocks in front of the inconspicuously painted boulder that serves as a trail marker. Hidden Valley begins with some quick elevation gain to get your heart pumping. The trail winds up through a canyon and the terrain evolves from rocky, rugged trail to pine forest to fern grove to a stunning view of Mt. Ogden and Taylor Canyon. The trail really gets its name from the flat valley you come into just before the summit. You’ll discover that happy moose also enjoy the sweeping view. You can also leave your mark by placing a rock on the Beehive Cairn at the top. After all, the moose need art exhibits too. Start from the 22nd Street Trailhead and follow the Indian Trail for about one-half mile. Then, at an indistinct fork, turn sharply right and upward. (It’s marked by the words “Hidden Valley” painted inconspicuously on a rock.) Length: 1.4 miles, one way Difficulty: Difficult Elevation: 5,080’ to 6,760’ Taylor Canyon www.visitogden.com 13 ---PAGE BREAK--- 14 Trails ben lomond peak Local legend has it that Ben Lomond Peak was the inspiration for the Paramount Pictures logo. Company founder, William Wadsworth Hodkinson, sketched the logo based on memories of the mountains of his youth in Ogden. To reach the summit, start from the trailhead at North Ogden Divide. The trail switchbacks several times to get you to the ridge, then you hike straight north through conifer forest. The last push to the summit is a bit of a scramble up some loose, steep stuff, but that shouldn’t come as a surprise. Have you ever SEEN the Paramount Pictures logo? And the next time you cue up The Godfather, won’t it be cool to say to your family and friends, “I’ve been to the top of that mountain.” Ben Lomond Trail is on an east-facing slope that happens to be one of the wettest in the state, so its wildflower display is unparalleled. Length: 11.4 miles, one way Difficulty: Difficult Elevation: 6,180’ to 9,764’ beus canyon trail Beus Canyon Trail is named for the Beus family, Italian immigrants who came to the area as Mormon pioneers. They were the first to use the creek waters for their farm, and they actually got the receipt for their land from Brigham Young. The Beus Canyon Trail is probably the best choice for ascending Mt. Ogden from the west side. The trail makes its way up the bottom of the canyon before climbing the ridge to the south. Don’t be surprised when high on the ridge you find the trail petering out. The Forest Service and Weber State Recreational Center are working together to improve the trail here. But, in the meantime, follow the rock cairns that will mark the rest of your way to the top. Access the Beus Canyon trail at the Forest Service Trailhead on 46th Street (furthest east point on 46th) in Ogden. Length: 5.6 miles, one way Difficulty: Difficult Elevation: 5,100’ to 9,572’ indian trail/ coldwater Back before the paved highway was cut through Ogden Canyon, Shoshone Indians used this trail to avoid the high waters at the mouth of the canyon. Indian Trail is a moderate hike that ascends through lush evergreens and past stunning geology. Access Indian Trail from the 22nd Street Trailhead in Ogden or the Cold Water Canyon Trailhead in Ogden Canyon (at the Smokey the Bear sign). Length: 4.3 miles, one way Difficulty: Moderate Elevation: 4,840’ to 5,560’ Waterfall canyon This short, but strenuous hike is a rugged scramble over the rocks and through the trees, yet it has long been one of Ogden’s most popular hikes thanks to the spectacular 200-foot waterfall at the upper end of the canyon. Please respect the private property on both sides of the trail and don’t be tempted to climb the cliffs around the waterfall. It’s illegal and several hikers have fallen to their deaths from the treacherous rocks. Length: 1.2 miles, one way Difficulty: Difficult Elevation: 4,760’ to 5,800’ Malan’s Peak Trail Hiking www.visitogden.com 15 ---PAGE BREAK--- 16 Biking how to... how to... START IT up Roll through The Daily Rise Espresso at 2865 Washington Blvd. Jeff, Beth and Stephanie are outdoor junkies who develop daily Mountain Man specials to fuel your ride. They even designed their two drive-up windows to accommodate cars with bikes loaded on a roof rack. They’re close to Bingham Cyclery- the Specilized concept store, so if you need any last-minute gear, you’re set. KEEP IT GOING Safe to say, we know our stuff when it comes to ice cream. One of the last family-owned, old-fashioned ice cream parlors is Farr’s, on the corner of 22nd and Grant. Try any one of the rich and creamy flavors in a waffle cone or order a sundae topped with thick, hot fudge, nuts and whipped cream. WIND IT DOWN If you ride Wheeler Creek, Green Pond, Skyline or the Snowbasin trail system, The Shooting Star in Huntsville is the place for a recovery burger (USA Today ranked it among the best burgers in the country), a pitcher of beer and some pool. It’s Utah’s oldest saloon and is typically open noon-ish to nine-ish. Mount Single-Track Mind If you check out the various Utah online and printed mountain bike guides, you’ll see that the Skyline Trail is considered a “must ride” singletrack for its long, demanding climbs, wildflowers and unbelievable views as you ride the ridge between the Ogden metropolitan area to the west and lush Ogden Valley to the east. However, that 30-mile Olympic-caliber section of trail represents about 10% of what’s available to fat tire fanatics in the area. Wheeler Creek to Coldwater Overlook Locals hit Wheeler Creek as soon as it opens in the spring. Wedged in a limestone slot canyon at the head of Ogden Canyon (the trailhead is just below Pineview Dam), the trail parallels Wheeler Creek itself on pebbly double track for the first 1.9 miles to the Art Nord Trailhead. From there, Maples Trail offers 3.3 miles of singletrack through grass and wildflower meadows, stands of quaking aspen, oak and maple where you’re likely to see moose and deer. Foot bridges have been installed at strategic water crossings and the transitions from the trail to the bridges are typically seamless. The Maples Trail tops out at a connector. Turning south shoots you over to Snowbasin on a short two-track section that connects you into the entire Snowbasin trail system. Turning north sends you on incredibly buffed out singletrack to the Coldwater Overlook. The sustained climb is easier than you think and the resulting view is nothing short of epic. Plus, it comes with the benefit of a velvet-smooth, high-speed descent. Length: 6.5 miles, one way Difficulty: Moderate Elevation: 4,900’ to 6,900’ Green Pond & Snowbasin Trail System A 20-minute drive from downtown up Trappers Loop to Snowbasin Road puts you at Green Pond trailhead. This endless system of singletrack is rugged, technical and steep, but has more opportunities to open it up than the tight trail systems that are typical of ski resorts. A good portion of the Xterra USA Championships takes place on this trail system, which is a testa- ment to its toughness. Trail maps are available at Snowbasin, but the eenie- meenie-mynie-moe approach at all forks in the trail can be fun, too. Basically, downhill to your car. Length: varied Difficulty: Moderate to Difficult Elevation: 6,300’ at trailhead Snowbasin, Maples Trail www.visitogden.com 17 ---PAGE BREAK--- Skyline TRail As part of the Great Western Trail (stretching from Mexico to Canada), the Skyline Trail has received its share of ink with the out-and-back north section from North Ogden Divide to Ben Lomond Peak achieving the most notoriety. However, the south section has a “no breaks up, no brakes down” 18-mile loop option that every hardcore mountain biker has to do. Begin at the Pineview Trailhead on the west side of Pineview Reservoir (called Windsurfer Beach by locals...don’t get confused). Out of the parking lot you’ll grind up 5 miles of singletrack steeps. You’ll hit a fork where you can opt for another 4 miles of climbing to Lewis Peak or about 3.5 miles to North Ogden Divide. The last 18 Biking www.visitogden.com 19 BONNEVILLE SHORELINE TRAIL — EAST OGDEN BENCH Ogden’s East Bench is home to a spaghetti bowl of singletrack trails. Official trailheads can be found at Rainbow Gardens (at the mouth of Ogden Canyon) and at the tops of 22nd Street, 29th Street and 36th Street. You have endless ride options ranging from 20-mile out-and-backs to short 6-mile loops. Fifteen minutes of pedaling on any piece of the single- track puts you above the city. You’ll see wicked sunsets, dip into canyons, cross streams and cling to the edge of ledges. This trail sees most of its action in the spring when wildflowers are popping, the high-country trails are still under a blanket of snow and local mountain bikers are trying to get their legs back. You’ll share the trail with other bikers as well as trail runners and their four-legged canine friends. Length: varied Difficulty: Easy to Difficult Elevation: 4,400’ to 5,680’ BONNEVILLE SHORELINE TRAIL — NORTH SECTION In theory, the Bonneville Shoreline Trail should be a nice, level bombastic piece of singletrack that is constructed along the visible bench created by ancient Lake Bonneville. However, cliff faces and private land issues have conspired mile approaching the Divide is a wicked descent. Very technical, hike-a-bike stuff. At the Divide, descend down the Pioneer Trail into Ogden Valley. This section is an improved wagon road with a recognizable single “best descent” line that dumps you into the community of Spring Mountain. Pedal a chunk of pavement past Snowcrest School and whip into Eats of Eden for a frosty beverage. Then it’s a short combination of road, paved trail and singletrack along the edge of the lake back to the trailhead. Length: 9.5 to trailhead to divide Difficulty: Difficult Elevation: 4,950’ to 7,750’ to throw a few ups and downs into the mix. When completed, the trail should be a contiguous hundred-plus mile adventure along the entire length of the east bench of the Wasatch Front. One of the newest sections of the Bonneville Shoreline Trail begins at the Rainbow Trailhead at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. It’s not buffed out yet and provides some fun technical sections complete with loose rock, roots and tight spots. A short climb gets you to the shoreline where newly cut singletrack works its way north. At press time, signage is not placed, but is in the works. If you don’t mind putting your navigation skills to the test, you’ll encounter many interesting canyons along the way. Length: 5 miles one way Difficulty: Moderate to Difficult Elevation: 4,400’ to 5,900’ Ogden Freeride/ Ogden Pump Track If “uber gnar super rad-nasty expert jump zone” is music your ears, the Ogden Freeride Park, located just north of the mouth of Ogden canyon between 9th street and Canyon road, is your kind of place. You will find another excellent riding playground in Ogden Pump Track located at the corner of 20th and Grant. Mountain Snowbasin, Lower Green Pond Trail ---PAGE BREAK--- 20 Cycling Ogden River Parkway Sometimes you don’t feel like pushing your big ring in the drops, but you want to turn a crank. That’s when you take your cruiser to Rainbow Gardens and jump on the Ogden River Parkway. A paved trail winds along the lush banks of the Ogden River from the Eccles’ Dinosaur Park to Fort Bueneventura State Park. Pack a picnic and take advantage of one of the many parks and pavilions along the way. how to... how to... START IT up Got Coffee? If not, get some at “Cafe Ville Bella” at 3979 Harrison Blvd in South Ogden. KEEP IT GOING The Bike Shoppe, located at 4390 Washington Blvd., is home to some of Utah’s most avid and accomplished cyclists. When Matt, Jesse, Nate and the guys wrench on your bike, you know it’s done right. They also carry a comprehen- sive line of bikes and accessories and can hook you up with local club rides as one of the primary sponsors of the Ogden One Cycling Club. WIND IT DOWN After your ride, roll into HugHes just south of the Weber State University campus at 4387 Harrison Blvd. Cool down with a pitcher of fresh lemonade and recharge with one of their fresh rotini pasta salads. King of the Mountain If you’re looking to fry your lungs and legs, take Harrison Blvd. North to 3100 North and head over North Ogden Divide. Make the wild descent into Eden and around the east side of Pineview Reservoir to Old Snowbasin Road (State Road 226). This trafficked grind has a couple of false summits but eventually tops out at Snowbasin before descending down Trappers Loop to Moun- tain Green. Close the loop by shooting Weber Canyon back down to Ogden. Approximately 50 miles. Morgan Valley Drive to East Canyon Local roadies congregate at Old Farm Market (the Sinclair gas station in Mountain Green) to begin this popular out and back route. Cruise along the frontage road to Peterson and take the underpass under I-84. At the bottom of the hill, you hit Morgan Valley Drive. Stick to Morgan Valley Drive all the way to Porterville where you’ll catch State Road 66 and make the climb to East Canyon Reservoir. You can turn around at the dam or add a few more miles around the lake to East Canyon Resort for a Gatorade before making the return trip. Approximately 35-45 miles depending on your turnaround point. West Weber County Farm Country The western portion of Weber County is primarily rural with trafficked roads perfect for spinning your legs out on flat land. Be warned: long straight roads can suddenly end at a locked farm gate. It’s best to map your route out beforehand if you want to avoid excessive backtracking. Check out www.weberpathways.org for detailed biking trail maps. Snowbasin Road www.visitogden.com 21 ---PAGE BREAK--- Onward & Upward Rock & Ice magazine ranks Ogden among the top ten climbing towns. We are home to outdoor and indoor climbing adventures for beginning through expert climbers. Our most popular climbing areas are described below. For climbing options sans weather restraints, check out the climbing and bouldering training facilities listed on the next page. Climb safely, responsibly, and courteously. Willard Spires The small town of Willard, just north of Ogden, is the jump-off point for some of the Top of Utah’s most spectacular views, some of the West’s (arguably) most difficult hiking and an endless supply of lonely, beautiful climbs. Climbers can cling to walls more than 1,000 feet off the deck on parts of London Spire, the crown jewel of the Willard Spires, which guidebook author Dave Robb called “the most rugged place I’ve ever been.” 26th Street Bouldering Field Ogden’s east bench of is home to a life- time of bouldering problems and sequences ranging from V0-V7 or higher. The lower boulder field is located in the area just beyond the top of 25th and 27th Streets; you can see many of the boulders from the road. An upper boulder field is up Taylor’s Canyon and to the north, and the Patriot Crack area is up the hill (north) from the lower field. Proceed east up 27th, 22 Climbing Lake or 25th Streets until you reach the end of the street. Parking can be found on the street or on some dirt parking areas; please be considerate to residents and help keep this area available for future use. A short walk upward will lead to the boulders. 9th Street Crag The 9th Street crag is a popular sport area with easy access and a range of difficulty. The crag is about 40 feet high with several bolted routes all with top rope chains; top rope access can be made from either side of the crag. Keep an eye open for poison ivy. Proceed east on 9th street until you reach the top. Parking is limited; be considerate to res- idents. Walk up the dirt road until you intersect the canal road and turn left (north). Follow the road north about a hundred yards to the trailhead. The trail works its way up in a north-easterly direction leading to the crag. ICE CLIMBING The 1971 first ascent of three-hundred- foot high Malan’s Waterfall on the east side of Ogden was a landmark climb in the art of climbing frozen waterfalls. This and many other ice climbs on “farmed” ice are available in Waterfall Canyon Climbing Park in the winter. Indoor Ogden Canyon www.visitogden.com 23 iRock iRock offers a 55’, 2,520 sq. ft. wall of world class indoor rock climbing and bouldering options. Perfectly situated in the Salomon Center, iRock has proper equipment, training and staff available to support a prime climbing experience for groups of all sizes comprised of beginner to hard-core competitive climbers. Ogden Front Climbing The all-glass atrium of the American Can building is home to Ogden’s rock-climbing utopia: The Ogden Front Climbing Club. The Front provides year-round training and recreation support for all levels of experience with 10,000 ft. of bouldering, lead, and top-rope walls. Weber Rocks Those new to the art of climbing will find the instruction and equipment they need at the Weber Rocks Climbing Wall, which is located in the Swenson Stromberg complex on the Weber State University campus. ---PAGE BREAK--- 24 Paddlesports how to... how to... START IT up There is only one place to start a day of paddling around Ogden: The Oaks. Tucked in the shade of Ogden Canyon, several outdoor tables right on the river are the perfect place for one of their signature omelets and owner Keith Rounkles is arguably the most avid paddler in the area. If he’s not already out on the water somewhere, he can give you the lowdown on flows. KEEP IT GOING One of the best take-outs for the Ogden River also happens to be one of the best places for your lunch break. Rainbow Gardens at the mouth of Ogden Canyon is Utah’s largest gift shop and houses The Greenery. Pound down a couple of Mormon Muffins slathered with honey butter before you head back upstream. WIND IT DOWN The take-out on the Weber River at Taggart is home to Taggart’s Grill. It’s the place where paddlers congregate to burn through burgers, beer and boasts of the day’s runs. Kayak Ogden Canyon Narrows www.visitogden.com 25 shake, paddle & roll Ogden’s abundant whitewater means that even when most stream flows around the west taper off, Ogden still has options to dip your paddle. Ogden River Put-In: Wind your way up Ogden Canyon (12th Street) about a mile until the large pull-off on the north side opposite the Smokey the Bear sign. Poison Ivy Class IV A sprinkling of poison ivy on the banks adds to the character of this rapid. Run as far left as possible but if you get pushed off-line you can save yourself from a beating by hugging the cement wall over the drop and riding a small ledge past the hole. At low water the hole has a tongue center-left. The Waterfall Class III+ The waterfall drop has a beautiful lead-in with a 200 foot waterfall filtering down the river right cliff wall directly into the river. It can be very pushy, with ledge holes on river left at the top and a large pourover boulder at the bottom right. At the very bottom of the rapid there is a fun tongue. Run center- left. The water calms and takes a sharp left turn under the road for a 1/4 mile of easier class II+ down to the narrows. The Narrows Class III+ In the narrows, the river is constricted between the roadway and a cliff wall on river left. A couple of large boulders in the middle of the run force you to choose between the narrow left slot and the wider right side with a large ledge drop. Both lines hang up wood, so scout this area on the way up. The Diversion Class III Below the narrows, the river splits around an island at high water. The right fork has a fun diversion dam drop. Just before the take-out, the river turns sharply to the right and tumbles down some rocky class II+. Take-Out: Rainbow Gardens, at the mouth of Ogden Canyon. Ogden Kayak Rodeo Park The Ogden Kayak Park offers an urban park-n-play experience just outside of down- town Ogden. The park offers 150 cfs up to 1000 cfs of good fun. Most boaters play at the first hole then float through the bottom two when it is time to get out. A bike trail on river left and a bridge just upstream of the first hole provides a good vantage point for onlookers. Fifty yards upstream of the park is a low-head dam or wier that can provide a good popup if one of the gates is open. During late summer and low water years the park becomes a local hangout and swimming hole. Medium flows make it a great place for beginning and interme- diate boaters. High water delivers three fairly intimidating wide holes. ---PAGE BREAK--- 26 Paddlesports Ogden Kayak Rodeo Park The Ogden Kayak Park offers an urban park-n-play experience two minutes from downtown Ogden. The park offers good fun from about 150 cfs up to 1000 cfs. The park was built in the year 2000 at the urging and with the help of local kayakers. As the first professionally designed play-park in Utah, it drew attention to the area as a kayaking destination. There is a bike trail on river left and a large viewing deck that provides a good vantage point for onlookers. Weber River The Weber River flows out of the Uinta Mountains and winds through the valleys of Summit County until it makes its final decent to the Great Salt Lake. It’s here in the last half of its journey that boaters have enjoyed this hidden playground for many years. There’s a seven-mile stretch between Henefer and Taggert Junction that affords boaters of all kinds a whitewater playground. The rapids are not big but there are many and in some areas they are right on top of each other, making the experience quite thrilling. Put-In: Coming from Ogden, take I-84 east all the way through the Weber canyon and get off at the first Henefer exit. Take a left to go under the freeway, and then take a right. This dirt road parallels the river and there are some large dirt parking areas to the left that make good put-in spots. Boulder Garden Class II+ The river makes a slight right-hand bend into a mile of class II+ rock dodging. In high water, this section washes out. There always seems to be several large trees in the river, but the current is slow enough that they rarely become a problem. Beginners should be cautious. This is a great section to practice eddy hopping, S-Turns and stern squirts. Swims here often begin when a beginner broaches on one of the large boulders. Croydon Wave Class II You soon come to a section with a few large pool-drop rapids that are bigger than anywhere else so far. One of these is the “Croydon Wave.” It’s a steep wave with eddy service on both sides that can give some fun surf and great eddy play. Below the Croydon wave there are a couple of miles of flat water. Some locals like to take out at Croydon just to skip the flat water. Slalom Rapid Class II+ Slalom Rapid is made from a series of pillars holding up the freeway. You can run straight down the middle, but beware of a few holes and lots of unnatural junk in there. The pillars pose a serious broaching/ wrapping danger. Taggart Falls Class II+ After a bit of flat water and a few little drops, you’ll pass under a railroad bridge and the river swings left heading into Taggert Falls. Taggart Falls is a straight shot down the center-left in some waves, but you can also try your luck on the holes too, which take up the whole right side of the river. At high water they can get pretty nasty. There’s a pretty permanent log jam right behind the holes, so a run far right isn’t recommended. The take-out is about 200 yards after Taggart Falls and on the right. Take-Out: Get off at the Taggart exit and turn right; the river is right there and you can park anywhere. Taggart Falls is visible upstream. Riverdale Wave Riverdale Wave is the destination of choice by the playboating crowd and is usually best during spring runoff. On sunny spring Saturdays the parking area can see a dozen or more rack-sporting vehicles lined up the street. Hit the wave while it’s up. Beginners without a good roll should avoid the Wave during very high flows. However, during me- dium and low flows, the Wave provides a great introductory wave experience. The slides coming into the Wave are exhilarating for beginners. For intrepid beginners with a guide, the slides make an exciting put-in for the mellow run down to the Ogden Kayak Park. Kayak North of Ogden Canyon www.visitogden.com 27 ---PAGE BREAK--- Two Rivers run through it The Ogden area sits at the confluence of two rivers — the Weber and the Ogden. Like most western rivers, head upstream for smaller rainbows, cutthroats and brookies that can be a bit reckless. Aim for bigger, more savvy browns. This is three to five weight country. Know how to read water and make sure your fly box is full because the dense vegetation that lines the streams eats flies as voraciously as the trout. 28 FlyFishing www.visitogden.com 29 Ogden River, South fork The South Fork of the Ogden River flows out of Causey Reservoir through the surrounding hills with large cottonwood stands, and into Pineview Reservoir. Although not a large tailwater by western standards, the South Fork’s relatively consistent flows and water temperatures produce excellent hatches and, at times, some rather large trout. The South Fork of the Ogden is one of the few streams in the state that is home to the famous salmonfly. Although present in other local waters, this insect typically emerges during peak runoff, rendering the hatch unfishable. As a tailwater, however, the South Fork is affected little by runoff, making the salmonfly hatch well worth noting. Types of fish: brown trout, cutthroat trout and hatchery rainbow trout. Ogden River The Ogden River through Ogden Canyon below Pineview Reservoir is pure pocket water. You can usually count on at least one trout behind every rock. That doesn’t sound too impressive until you see how many rocks we’re talking about here. Small, olive-colored work well throughout most of the summer and will net trout during the middle of the day while you wait for the canyon walls to shade things enough to bring off the hatch. Weber River High on the western slope of the Uinta Mountains, the Weber (pronounced Wee-ber) River begins as a small, gin-clear trout stream. As it descends toward the valley, it quickly takes on the characteristics of a classic western freestone fishery, which it remains for most of its fishable length. The Weber is one of the Uinta’s larger streams, and its proximity to major population centers makes it a popular fly fishing destination for “after-work” anglers and others short on time. Weber River ---PAGE BREAK--- Splish splash This is mountain country so about the only flat thing around here are our lakes and reservoirs. Over 13,000 acres of fresh water lakes are home to warm water fish species including largemouth and smallmouth bass, crappie, perch, bluegill, tiger muskie and walleye. They’re also home to such warm water species as boats, personal watercraft, waterskiers, flat water kayakers and wakeboarders. When these waters freeze over, they’re prime destinations for ice fishing. Pineview Pineview Reservoir is the busiest reservoir for its size in the state of Utah. You can leave your hotel and be at the water’s edge within one-half hour. The scenery around Pineview is worth the visit. Seeing the mountains from the surface of the water is an experience to remember. 30 Watersports Port Ramp Marina Located on the west shoreline of the reservoir, this is the most used launching facility. The road into the marina has a large Forest Service sign identifying the site immediately across from Highway 158. The facility has a concrete ramp to launch boats and a large paved parking lot. It also has a gravel lot used for overflow parking. Next to the public docks is a system of plastic docks for long-term storage of boats. The fenced-in lot near the entry station is also for long-term boat storage. A sewage dump station is available next to the public restrooms in the paved parking lot. Use this system to help keep the water clean! Visit the Forest Service website for the latest information about Pineview Reservoir. www.fs.fed.us Anderson Cove Located on the south shoreline of the reservoir, Anderson Cove provides the only overnight camping at Pineview.

This marina is fairly simple with a small paved parking area and a larger gravel parking lot. Willard Bay Boat, swim, waterski and fish on the warm waters of Willard Bay. Camp under tall cottonwood trees that frame the night sky. During winter months, Willard Bay is a wildlife watching area for nesting eagles. Both the North and South Marinas offer all the amenities for a weekend at the Bay. Causey Located about 26 miles east of Ogden off Highway 39, Causey is one of the most scenic and beautiful reservoirs in Utah. Nestled in steep valley canyons with shear vertical walls and heavily forested areas, most of the area has the appearance of remote wilderness. Boats must be carried to the water at Causey, and once afloat you discover ample opportunities for canoeing, kayaking and fishing. Fish types include multiple varieties of trout, kokanee salmon and splake.

Ogden’s Union Station was the heart of a successful bid to become the primary junction for the railway. Union Station welcomed the world into Ogden for over 50 years, and Historic 25th Street rolled out before it like a red carpet. Many travelers entered to do business, dine, catch up on local and national news and enjoy upscale shopping. Others came to frequent the houses of ill repute, gamble, trade off ill-gotten gains, drink and brawl at the lively saloons. One could witness gambling, prostitution, narcotics sales, robbery and other bootlegger activities on 25th Street. 42 Historic 25th Downtown With A Diverse History Conservative, devout and God-fearing Mormon pioneers originally settled most Utah communities. Our area traces its beginnings to fur trader Miles Goodyear, who established the trading post, Fort Buenaventura, in 1844. The town settled down for a bit following purchase of the fort by Mormon pioneers in 1847. Then, completion of the railroad in 1869 initiated long-standing political battles, invited successful and failed capital ventures and charged the city with on-going controversy. For a time, Ogden was a rough city, and 25th Street was the roughest part of all. And A Promising Future Ogden’s Renaissance began in the 1950s when Mayor Lorin Farr initiated efforts for a citywide cleanup. In the 1980s, economic reinvestment in the downtown area revitalized the fierce, independent, entrepreneurial heart of Ogden. Visionary and progressive business owners reopened shop along Historic 25th Street. Land developers built residences. Historic 25th Street has once again emerged as a vital economic and cultural center with a promising future.

Fort Buenaventura Located just west of the city center, Fort Buenaventura was stomping grounds to the original outdoorsman— the mountain man. True trailblazers, mountain men were a strong, independ- ent and rugged breed who traded with the Native American tribes, married tribal women, trapped the rivers for beaver and lived off the land. They rendezvoused annually at Fort Buenaventura trading furs for supplies, eating, drinking, swapping stories and demonstrating their skills. A replica fort including three cabins, true to every documented detail, has been reconstructed on the original site of the fort that was built in 1845 by Miles Goodyear and his wife. Original artifacts are also displayed. Facilities at the fort include picnic areas, a canoeing pond, restrooms and a trading post. The trading post is open year round on Saturdays. Other facilities, including camping and canoeing, are open from Easter to Thanksgiving. Step back in time every Easter weekend at the Rendezvous. Huntsville Trappist Monastery The Trappist monks, belonging to the Order of the Cistercian of the Strict Observance, came to Ogden Valley in 1947 and established a monastic community dedicated to “an austere and simple life of prayer and manual labor inspired by the gospel of Jesus Christ.” They tend colonies of bees and raise approximately 300 Hereford beef cattle. The reception room and church services (Mass and Vespers) are open to the public. For men who wish to spend a day or two in solitude and recollec- tion, the monastery operates a retreat house.

Ogden Eccles Conference Center offers a remarkably diverse and flexible gathering space, along with convenient access to hotels and many local points of interest. Entertainment The David Eccles Conference Center offers two levels of spacious gathering options perfect for meetings and social gatherings of any size. Its magnificent windowed walls create bright daylight- filled hallways while revealing breath- taking mountain views. Peery’s Egyptian Theater is a multi-use theatrical venue. Originally built as a movie palace in 1924 by Harmon and Lewis Peery, the dilapidated theater was nearly torn down in the 1980’s. Restored to its original luster with the addition of a full theatrical stage and dressing rooms, it reopened in 1997 as part of the Ogden Eccles Conference Center. Peery’s Egyptian Theater is one of an esteemed three Egyptian-style movie palace theaters in the Northwest United States. With the completion of the restoration of the Mighty Wurlitzer Pipe Organ in 2004 the “Showplace of the West” is now restored to its original grandeur.

The annual Zions Bank Ogden Marathon is typically organized around the third week in May. In addition to the full 26.2-mile marathon option, organizers have races of varying distances laid out on the incredibly beautiful course — a marathon relay, a half-marathon, 5k and Kids’ K. With the bulk of the course profile being a gentle downhill, this Boston Marathon qualifier is a favorite among runners of all ability levels and was recognized by Runners World as a “Top Marathon to be your first.” Generally, the race begins 26.2 miles east of Ogden and parallels virtually all of the South Fork, skirts Pineview Reservoir and rejoins the Ogden River down the beautiful canyon to eventually end in the heart of Ogden’s historic district.

They had hoofed it across 1,300 miles of wilderness in search of religious freedom. By 1869, nearly 70,000 members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called Mormons) had come to call Utah their home. A good number of them had settled in Ogden. Pioneer Day, July 24th, is an official state holiday. Virtually every commu- nity across Utah commemorates the day and Ogden’s party is among the biggest. The city’s week-long celebra- tion includes fireworks, parades, live music and, of course, plenty of rodeo. Between the abundance of festivities and stock provided by one of the nation’s top contractors, Ogden’s Pioneer Days Rodeo has become one of the premier rodeos on the pro rodeo circuit. Last year’s rodeo attracted over 20 National Finals Rodeo qualifying cowboys including four world champions. For a full Pioneer Days schedule of events visit www.ogdenpioneerdays.com.

If someone is standing there scoping out their line, don’t jump in. We don’t snowshoe on groomed Nordic trails. On the trail, we all yield to horses. Bikes yield to hikers. Usually hikers will step aside for bikes even though they don’t have to. When they do, mountain bikers say thanks. We carry out more than we carry in. We respect leash laws, private property and access areas. We yield to pedestrians in crosswalks....except for the boneheads who don’t. Watch out for them. Thanks for poking around this guidebook. Hopefully, it makes you want to poke around Ogden. Obviously, you’ll be welcomed. If you want to stay that way, you should understand how we operate. When you roll into town, an account is opened for you in the Karma bank. Make as many deposits as you like. Make as few withdrawls as possible. Enjoy our town 100 www.visitogden.com 101
