The city was named after fearless fur-trader and adventurer, Peter Skene Ogden, who explored the untamed area in the 1820s. Since then, Ogden has seen poverty and prosperity, conflict and celebration. Today, although a more subdued and modern place, the city is still big on action and adventure the whole family can enjoy. Take the kids to ogle the more than 100 life-size replicas of pre-historic creatures at the Ogden Dinosaur Park and Museum. Or head to the Tree House Museum, one of the best of its kind in the U.S. Adults will find plenty to enjoy on local golf courses or hiking trails in the summer, and everyone will love the local winter ski resorts. A grand old depot, Union Station is a must see for history buffs and anyone interested in trains and railroads. Be sure to stroll along 25th Street downtown. This historic block was the center of activity in the early 20th-century and is home to many restored buildings from the railroad era. The street also boasts an eclectic mix of restaurants, one-of-a kind shops, antique stores and art galleries.

At some point, the sound of the waterfalls hits you and though it’s mostly uphill from there, it’s worth the sweat! Enjoy!

The River Parkway is a combined effort of Ogden City and Ogden Trails Network volunteers. It is paved, scenic and provides a beautiful partially shaded work right next to the rivers. There places to sit, visit like the Dinosaur Park, and parks like Big D. To the west by Washington Blvd there are some pretty great family/friend restuarants like Slackwater, Kneaders and Prairie Schooner. Its one of the best hour or so round trip you can find in Ogden. And if your near downtown it can't be beat.

I loved this hike. It was pretty heavy trafficked bikes. Sharing the beauty is what's its all about.
Hi! I’m Marc. I have been hiking and backpacking and studying nature all my life. I have a degree in botany and I teach part time at Weber State University. I have an intimate knowledge of the trails in the Ogden area, including the less well-known ones, and I love to share my passion for outdoor experiences with people!
