    This the waterfall hike I needed to re-energize my life! Get out of your comfort zone, hike here, and enjoy nature's beauty. Note: if you see trash, please pick it up and leave the place better than how you left it! You dont need hiking sticks but it definitely helps especially when the trail path is overflowing with water.

    There is an easy access to this trail as it is at the edge of the city. After seeing the mountains all around you, you owe it to yourself to hike them. I decided to go on the Waterfall Canyon Trail and all paths lead UP! Coming from the lowcountry I got a workout. Less from the incline than from the altitude! I was wheezing after fifteen minutes. The rock formations with the colored strata against the beautiful fall foliage makes it worth it! Hiking shoes are strongly recommended as it is rocky and has some spot with loose ground. It does not take long to get a great view of the city and Salt Lake from a distance. The rock formations with the colored strata against the beautiful fall foliage makes it worth it! There really aren't any markers except for the beginning of the trail. You have three options and they all lead uphill. Take the shoreline trail initially if you plan to get to the waterfalls. At the time of this writing the waterfall is more of a spray. I guess there has not been much rain. Dress in layers. I started at 10AM with a chilly fifty degrees but it wasn't long before I was down to my t-shirt. Towards the top it can get chilly.

    Just finished this hike. It's super pretty but starts out with no shade until about a 1/3 of the way up. Definitely bring lots of water and is a very hard hike. It took my mom and i 2 hours round trip with lots of stops. My watch said it was 3.3 miles round trip and the first half is all uphill (my watch said 65 flights of stairs). Would definitely recommend it.

    Lots of great trails! Great exercise, great fun! My dog and I like to hike up to the waterfall taking different routes.

    My sister and I found this trail via yelp and it did not disappoint! Views are beautiful and all of the hikers were so friendly. It's very easy to find and park. Although we weren't able to hike all the way through to the waterfalls, we plan to next time. Definitely glad we found this gem.

    Waterfall Canyon is fun. Super crowded though. It's pretty strenuous and I'm pretty conditioned for hiking. I guess I was a little rushed and busted my butt up there and back. The fall was amazing! So beautiful. But it was crowded and distracting. People were literally sitting on top of me (my backpack). Everyone and their dogs (quite literally as well) was up there. The dog crap along the trial is very obnoxious. You can smell it all the way up and it dots and smears the trail along the way. There are lots of spur trails and places to go. They found a body I think near Malans Trail (bless his soul) an hour after I left that seems it had been there for a few weeks....so yeah, it's extensive. It's steep and rocky. Be careful, have, fun, and please clean up your dogs poop or leave them at home. Go explore this area!

    Love this trailhead! Gibs trail is a great hike, and the views are gorgeous! It's crazy how quickly you can get a great view of Ogden. It's even nicer because the trailhead is still very much in town, and really easy to get to.

    view of waterfall canyon trail heading towards the top :)

    This was a great hike! Don't be scared of the 4 out of 5 stars (sigh), it's only due to the fact that although strenuous it's a short hike. Everything about it though was great! The view of the city from walking towards the waterfall, the sound of the birds chirping, the sound of the stream. And the best of all when you get to the waterfall, it's the best experience of gazing up at a 200ft waterfall . I've never encountered one so big and was NOT disappointed. It's about a 2.7 hike to the top and back, definitely bring some water, sunscreen and maybe snacks for a nice rest while watching the water run down the rocks. The trailhead is pretty straightforward (waterfall canyon trailhead).

    First but not last hike well worth it but please make sure you are in shape and brig lots of water this hike is a challenge but once you get to the top it is all worth it the view is amazing I would recommend to all

    At the too of the trail

    So far this is my favorite hike. Not too long, not too short, not too hard. Just enough...well, for…read moreme. It located just south of Pineview dam. This is the Wheeler Canyon trail that follows Wheeler Creek. The trail is wide and heavily traveled. Great for hiking, biking, horseback riding, skiing and snowshoeing. I did the loop, it took me 2.5 hours and 5.73 miles. That was stopping frequently to take pictures because it's so pretty all over. From the beginning it's gorgeous. You're surrounded by towering, rocky mountains and the sound of the river below. As you get farther on the trail, the leaves are gold, red, and orange. One day we took our toddler to walk up the trail and explore a bit. It was easy and fun for her. Lots of birds, butterflies and caterpillars to check out. That's when I knew I had to come back and take a hike. After Wheeler Canyon there's a fork that takes you to Ice Box Canyon on the right or Art Nord trailhead to the left. I read about this trail and many prefer to go counterclockwise and go through Ice Box first. I also recommend going this route. It's a steady climb, not hard and shaded the entire way until you get to the south slope meadows. Ice Box Canyon was magical. The birds were singing, the sound of the water was hypnotic, and the red leaves blanketed the trail like a celebrity red carpet, minus the paparazzi and a little less narcissism. I had to stop and take pictures every second. I couldn't help it. If you're doing the loop, you'll run into another fork (on the south slope) once you're out of Ice Box Canyon. The sign is missing off the post. Go left. That will take you down through some meadows across a couple of bridges and then uphilll to the Art Nord Drive/trailhead. You will see Snowbasin Road on the right as you approach a trail map kiosk. Keep following the trail. You will descend on a windy trail towards a parking area. Keep going and you'll soon be back in Wheeler Canyon. I think about .65 miles. Take a jacket and plenty of water. When I went it started pouring the last quarter mile and the wind was awful tunneling through that canyon. It about knocked me over. I came out of the canyon only to find out there were 2 freaking tornadoes taht touched down. I'm not sure of the odds of that happening again but just be prepared for the weather. This would be a great hike for a family. Do the loop, go check out Ice Box Canyon, or just go up a little and back. No matter what you choose I think you'll enjoy it!

    Indian Trail is a perfect lil' easy to moderate hike in Ogden. You've got a couple options, either…read morestarting at one end and tracing your steps back to the beginning (8ish miles), or parking a car at the preferred exit and halving your efforts. My dad put together a sister's hiking trip last weekend, and we began at the 22nd street entrance. This is just in a neighborhood, but there is plenty of street parking. If I were to repeat the hike, I would do it just the same, as you conquer the steepest part immediately, and then it is easy going from there. That same section is the only very exposed portion, after which the trail is tree covered, with pines and aspens and other glorious protectors from the sun. That means this is a great option even for mid-day hiking! You also escape the sounds of cars and people quite quickly, and find yourself in gorgeous mountain silence. Aaaaah. The peak rewards with a view out across Ogden over to the Spiral Jetty and Golden Spike Historical Park. A small wooden shack resides there, too: a pleasant spot for rest or a picnic. After we stopped to take in the scenery here, we continued on the trail toward the Coldwater Canyon Trailhead (where we'd left a car to return us home). The remainder of the hike featured many more aspens, still with autumn's golden leaves winking in the breeze, a babbling stream, and two teepees formed of fallen branches. What a fun surprise! Deep dips in the trail felt noticeably cooler. This was in October, but between that and the forest coverage, I imagine this would make a pleasant, not-too-hot summer hike. Our adventure took only 1 1/2 hours at a leisurely to moderate pace. It was very easy, and we only felt a smidge winded at the very beginning steep portion. We met a few other groups, more as we neared lunchtime, and one mountain biker. It is dog friendly with a leash, though we saw some without.

    Probably my second most favorite hike here local. There are some fantastic views of O'town and the…read morewaterfall. Seeing the face of the canyon to the north is absolutely mesmerizing also. In the spring/summer the fauna is fantastic. In the winter, the views are even better due to the lack of foliage, just bring some crampons because there are some steep drop offs! GO HIKE THIS TRAIL!

    This place might be the most underrated visitor center in all of Ogden. Located on 12th Street…read moreand pretty much right next to I-15 you most likely have passed it once or twenty times. Upon entering you feel like your miles away from the city! Parking is free and admission is $5 per adult. The visitor center is a charming little building with a quaint little gift shop filled with local products and a Discovery room that showcases various reptiles. The staff member gives you a rundown of the trails and hands you a nifty little map. And off you go to explore! There are plenty of things to see including but not limited to: Birds of Prey area, Observation Towers, picnic areas, ponds, etc. So it's much more than just brush and trees. Bring a pair of binoculars and you might see some native wildlife. Soak in the sunshine and enjoy the bird calls and sounds if wildlife! In late March the trees are still bare this year so I can only imagine what it looks like when all the foliage comes in. Definitely a great way to spend a warm, sunny morning on a solo walk or with friends and famiy. And on the cheap.

    The Ogden Nature Center is a 152 acre nature preserve and education center located in Ogden, Utah…read moreoff of 12th street. Although it is located within eyeshot of the freeway in some spots, you actually forget you are in the middle of town and I am consistently impressed by the gorgeous views of our mountains surrounding Ogden. The nature center is a fabulous year round retreat that we can spend an hour, or a whole day exploring. The only complaint I have about the nature center is the hours, it closes at 5pm - which is truly too early for my family, my son gets off school at 3:00; by the time we make it to the center and park- its 3:20 and we are left with only 90 minutes or so to explore and walk around. Saturdays are 9-4, Sundays they are closed altogether. I understand closing early in the winter but I would like to see longer summer hours- however I also know its volunteer run, so longer hours may be out of the question. Our first stop when we visit the nature center, after walking the short birdhouse trail to the visitor center, is to sign in and visit the animals in the visitor center. Gizmo the owl is a huge hit with our family. Right outside are the birds of prey; and this is our favorite part of the nature center. From Chitters the great horned owl to a funny and brilliant raven, a giant golden eagle and an injured bald eagle; there are amazing birds here to learn from. The birds here are well cared for by volunteers and all are there having been nursed back to health but for one reason or another were not able to be released back into the wild. While walking around the nature center we have seen quite a few beautiful animals, we always see deer and it's not a good visit without peeking out the bird blinds and trying to find some tadpoles or frogs. Our favorite place to play is the treehouse in the northwest corner. The kids love running up and down and peeking out from the top, it is also a great place to stop and have lunch or a snack. Created in 1975, it was Utah's first nature center. The center includes live animal exhibits, walking trails, ponds, bird blinds, observation towers, tree houses, gardens featuring drought resistant plants, and protected areas for wildlife. It offers nature-based classes and activities for children and adults. It is fun year round, we have visited while it was snowing, and while it was 100 degrees- it was fun either way and the shaded areas make it a nice place to hang out in the summer. With memberships starting at $30 for an individual and $45 for a family, it is worth every penny to me to have a safe and fun place for my kids to explore, run, walk, and enjoy the beauty of our town. There are student discounts, you can certainly make larger contributions, and volunteer opportunities. My favorite thing about the nature center is that I almost always see someone out working on something, whether it's tending to the birds, cleaning up a trail, or maintaining a pond- people are actively working to keep this beautiful reserve pristine for years to come. The Nature Center even offers summer camps, ranging from week-long camps to day camps for kids of all ages.

    Causey Reservoir is one of my favorite places to go paddle boarding in Utah! I love this reservoir…read moreso much, it's so beautiful. No motorized boats are allowed on this reservoir, so it's the perfect place to kayak, canoe, paddle board, or just bring a floaty and float around. There's also a bunch of cliff jumping. There's no beach, so the main activity here is being in the water. The water is a beautiful color, the scenery is gorgeous. I just love this place so much! I would definitely recommend getting here early, especially on the weekend, as the parking lot fills up quickly, and the reservoir gets crowded. We got here around 9am and it was the perfect time. By the time we left around 1pm, the parking lot was completely full and there were a ton of people out on the reservoir. Even with the volume of people on the water, it never feels too crowded. There's no overnight camping here, and it's completely free to access this reservoir, which is one of the reasons its so popular. A beautiful place to spend the day!

Possibly a little too scary for some audiences-usually those that are shorter than a yardstick.

There were far more than I could have named on my own with my basic "Land Before Time" dinosaur knowledge. Upstairs, you'll find rocks and gems, which is well done although maybe less interesting to some folks. However, take a peek at the dinner rocks-there's a whole display of rocks that are in the shape of food. I got a kick out of that. Outside, there's lots of wide open space with paths that wander throughout the trees. There are dinos dispersed throughout the property, and a few benches to sit on. Lots of the grounds were covered in weeds, which may have been what the dinosaurs preferred to eat. However, in modern day, it just looks unkempt. For a kiddo-or adult-that has a fascination with dinosaurs, this could be a fun place to spend an afternoon. For the rest of us, an hour or two is probably plenty.
