Ogden has such a rich and naughty history that it entices the imagination and provokes pride which makes it the perfect backdrop for the tour. Over the past year, Utah has introduced me to inspiring people that have an idea and then proceed to DO SOMETHING about it. Nicole Ames and her husband, Glen, are in that group. After visiting other cities that endorse local businesses through tourism they decided that 25th Street was missing this amazing opportunity. Nicole, founder of the Good Eats Tour, rallied all the participants on Grant and 25th Street around 1:30pm on Saturday. We were introduced to each other and briefed on our tour. My partners-in-crime for this gluttonous day included my husband, Jason, and my Grandma, Sandra. I love food (my backside can attest to this ) but I also love meeting new people, learning new things and spending time with my favorite peeps so I knew this tour would be perfect. Nicole explained the inspiration for the Good Eats Tour name. Her Grandma Sloan owned the Good Eats Café in Ogden where she met her Grandfather. The story has been retold over generations and while she doesn't have proof of this, she chooses to believe it's true. Being a sucker for an amazing love story, I believe it too. When you experience the Good Eats Tour make sure to bring water! It gets very hot in the summer months and you'll be happy to have it. The Good Eats Food Tours isn't just about discovering new restaurants and food, it's about rediscovering Ogden's history and its future. Nicole peppered us with fun, interesting facts about Ogden's sordid past of bootleg, prostitution, and the Electric Alley. She also reminded us of Ogden's willingness to help those in need like when the poor and destitute arrived through Union Station, we welcomed them and came together as a community. Finally, the Good Eats Food Tours, wouldn't be nearly as fun without Nicole and her commitment to ensuring we had the best experience possible. Also, we got lucky and made a few new friends along the way. Faye and Ron have been married over 23 years and after I blurted out, "and you still like each other?" they just giggled. Thanks for putting up with us . Chris MacDonald doesn't have a Facebook so I told her I would lovingly refer to her as Chris from 25th Street until she got one. The Good Eats Tour was so much fun and a great way to spend an afternoon with good peeps. Encourage your local restaurants to participate and introduce new customers to their story, history and delicious food. The Good Eats Tour really does allow you to become a Tourist in your own city!

WHAT If the name didn't give it away, I guess I should say up front that these are the bicycle taxis--bicycles with little carts attached to the back. You can fit three people on them, though usually I see folks going by the twos. I guess they offer tours of the city during the day, but I've never done one and I have no idea what that entails. So, you're on your own as the tour goes. But as far as hailing one like a cab, that's what they do at night, and that's how I've used them. WHO Each driver (pedaler, really) is independently contracted. That means your experience can be vastly different, and your pricing may be a bit variable as well (more on that below). I've noticed that the drivers tend to be younger dudes (though not exclusively), usually with a good attitude, pretty laid back, and they like to interact. Not saying that they are all like that, or that they have to be like that, but that's what I've seen in my experience. HAILING Just holler as they bike by. If they're empty, they're listening for you. You can also call, or contact ahead of time online at their website. PRICE Here's where it gets dicey. As many others have noted, pricing varies. You can probably figure around $3 per block, but that's pretty flexible. What you should do is this: as you hail the driver, ask them ahead of time how much they're going to charge by telling them the address of where you want to go. Then there's no surprise or no obligation. This part of it does actually drive me a little crazy--some folks just like the comfort of fixed pricing. But absent that or any real taxi-like meter, it's really just between you and the driver. Think of it as seeing somebody you don't know driving down the street, getting them to come over to you, and asking how much they would charge to take you somewhere. Switch out the car for a bike-and-cart, and that's the exact concept. They're not the cheapest mode of transportation around town. They're great for taking folks from the hotel to the restaurant, or from bar to bar. SLC blocks are big, and grabbing a sub-$10 ride to avoid a few blocks can help your night go smoothly. But if it's going to be a long ride, it's definitely much cheaper to grab a regular cab, Uber, etc. THE RIDE There ain't no seat belt (wait, is there?) and it's probably not for the faint of heart. It's not particularly fast, or really dangerous, but you're out there in the elements, in the open air, and your looking up at your driver pump his legs. Overall, it's not uncomfortable. But it ain't no backseat of a Towncar. All things said, these guys and gals are a great addition to the downtown scene. Know before you go, and you'll have a nice ride.

I needed a quick cab ride from one meeting to another during Outdoor Retailer. The bar manager told…read moreme it would be much quicker to get a bike taxi, so I went with it. I'm a fool to have done it. The driver showed up quick, for a brief and terrifying ride that broke every traffic law in the city. It was about 5 (SLC, so long) blocks. At the end, I was told it would be "well, most people give me between 10 and 15 bucks", whatever that means. He asked me if I was traveling on business and I said yes I was, and that I'm a freelance writer paying my own expenses. I gave him a $20 and meekly asked for some change. I got $5 back, and he had the audacity to give me a card and said to call again if I needed a ride. He also stopped about a block short of the destination, casually waving me in the general direction of the place I was going. Yet another reason I hope the OR show moves away from SLC. We leave something like 15M in the local economy and you still have to scam people for a 5 minute, 5 block ride? Seriously? I feel like a complete rube, scammed by the bar manager and scammed by the driver. I should have opted to be late to the next meeting.

My wife and I just returned from a really fun 24 hour trip from Utah to The Grand Canyon on Utah…read moreAirways. We had met David Story, the co-founder and pilot for this new Utah-based tour company at a charity event, and after discussing our interests with him, and our desire for an all-in day trip tour of the Grand Canyon, we decided to fly to the less crowded West Rim of the majestic Grand Canyon. Flying out of a small by convenient Ogden Airport, we enjoyed an easy and comfortable 2 hour flight on the 5 passenger Piper Navajo PA-31 twin engine prop plane. The flight wasn't too bumpy especially considering the mountain ranges we flew over on the way. Exactly two hours after departure we arrived at the West Rim airport and our pilot walked us the few hundred yards to check-in for the tours, and we set off on our adventures. The West Rim is on an Indian Reservation so it's one of the few places where you can take a short helicopter ride down to the Canyon Floor. As a result we started our adventure with a short helicopter flight to the bottom of the Grand Canyon. This was breathtaking as we took in amazing views of the Colorado River and the narrow canyon walls on our 1000 foot descent. At the bottom we enjoyed a cool boat ride along the Colorado River and enjoyed the incredible solitude and awe inspiring canyon walls. After returning to the heli terminal we took the short shuttle ride to each of the three scenic spots which were less than 5 minutes apart. At each one the views were amazing, especially from the Sky Walk at Eagles Landing, where we took the short walk out onto a glass-bottomed walkway nearly 4,000 feet above the floor of the Grand Canyon. Breathtaking! We ended up with a surprise overnight stay at the Hualapai Ranch, where we enjoyed the bonus of Indian BBQ, a nice camp fire, a beautiful sunrise over the Canyon, and a really cool horseback ride along the Canyon walls. Our return flight was slightly quicker and just as easy although a little bumpier. It was an awesome trip! Thank you to our pilots, David and Bret, for making this a fun and safe experience and dealing so admirably with the minor issues.
