Ogden Valley - A Great HUB for Adventure

One of the bests things about living in Northern Utah is how close we are to amazing adventure opportunities. Within five hours or less you can travel to a myrid of spectacular locations including wild rivers, wilderness areas, and dozens of national parks and recreation areas. Make Ogden Valley your HUB for 360 degree adventure. We traveled to Jackson Hole and Grand Teton National Park for a few days of R&R and it turned out to be a WOW weekend.

Fragile and Frigid Fall



Autumn in Utah has many faces. In the last few days we have experienced everything from bone chilling wintery winds, rainy down pours, blue skies, and snow showers. The changing weather drastically changes the landscape and makes everyday a surprise!

Monte Cristo in Between Snowfalls


Expansive views on Highway 39 between Huntsville and Woodruff are especially nice in between early season snowfalls.

What a difference a day can make in the Ogden Valley!












Living in Ogden has its pros and cons, but this past week, the daily drive through the canyon has been awesome. I keep leaving my camera at home, and some of the best shots that I have wanted to take are usually somewhere I can't pull over. These are a couple I took from my mobile phone this morning. I love the snow on the top of the mountain with the leaves on the hillside below. I am excited for the next couple of days while the weather is a little cold yet the leaves are still beautiful. And I am happy to offer a free drink to anyone stopping by the restaurant to eat if you mention this post.

Snow at Powder Mountain




The last day of September brought 5 inches of snow to Powder Mountain. As I write, two boys are setting up a rail outside my window. I am hoping it will melt enough to take people out on the Fall Color Safari next week. Regardless, it is beautiful!
