Waterfall Canyon Trail via Ogden Park

10/30/21

This out and back hike took ~2 hours. With the recent rains, the trail was muddy in spots but still doable. It’s a moderate hike with a rocky incline on the last third but well worth the climb.

Waterfall Canyon Trail via Ogden Park

we parked at the gibs loop trailhead parking lot (pretty small ~10 spots). it was a scenic hike, especially bc we went during the end of the season for changing leaves. luckily, it rained all last week, so there was water for the waterfall... but made the trail a little wet/muddy. this hike is close to town, convenient and you can do it in <2h. we made it to ogden river brewing on the way home afterwards to reward ourselves!

Waterfall Canyon

Waterfall Canyon is one of the most popular hikes in the Ogden area. The trailhead is easy to find, just head east on 29th street until you hit the base of the mountains and the parking lot is on the right. There are plenty of parking spots and restrooms but sometimes the restrooms are locked. Take the trail until it meets up with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. You will pass a fence with sign...

Malans Peak

You can reach this trail either via 27th Street or 29th Street in Ogden, Utah. Get on one of those roads and then head east until you reach the mountain. On 27th St. there is some parking on the road with a sign reminding people to keep their dogs on leash. On 29th St. there is a large parking lot with a covered entrance for the trail. Between the two lots, I prefer the 27th St. trailhead. The...

Green Pond Loop

About a mile before Snowbasin, is a parking lot with a map and trail marker. The first incline is steep and follows a single track trail that leads to the ponds. This trail is great year-round, but in the winter, you may have some stray backcountry snowboarders in the area. It's pretty quiet overall.

Hike the Wheeler Creek and Icebox Canyon Loop

To get to the trailhead from Ogden drive up Ogden Canyon toward Pine View Reservoir. Right when the canyon begins to open up and you can see the actual dam there is a turn off on the south side of the road that leads down a dirt road to a very small parking area and the trailhead. If the parking area is full there is some additional parking just off of the Ogden Canyon Road. If you see the wate...

Ben Lomond via North Skyline Trail

The trail starts in the Right Fork North Ogden Canyon near Liberty, Utah. Park in the main parking lot and then cross the road to the trailhead. You will see a sign at the beginning indicating that the Ben Lomond summit is 8.2 miles away. In the spring, it is quite difficult to make it all the way to the summit. Snow covers most of the path well into May, however I'd still highly recommend th...

Adams Canyon

The trailhead is at a dirt parking lot with a lot of parking, but on Saturday mornings it can get full and people are forced to park on the street. As you start off, there are a few steep and sandy switchbacks. They don't last too long but on a hot day it can seem like forever. After that, the trail will continue to be steep but won't switchback nearly as often. Follow the trail through the fo...
