Welcome to Utah, where life is elevated.

This diverse state has much to offer and experience. For those who are new to Ogden and want to know the best places to check out in the area, look no further. Here are some of the best spots in and around Ogden to explore:

1. Antelope Island State Park. Located 20 miles from Ogden in Syracuse sits a place where the salt flats line the Great Salt Lake and bison roam freely. This diverse island is home to some of the best hiking and mountain biking trails in Utah. Whether you’re into the trails, the campsites or the many lookout spots, there is always something to do and plenty to experience for everybody.

2. Pineview Reservoir.  Built to provide irrigation from the Wasatch mountains to the Great Salt Lake, Pineview Reservoir offers a great place to hit the water with kayaks, paddle boards and world-class fishing. It’s a great place to come and see amazing views of the canyon. Located in Ogden Valley, east of Ogden City, Pineview Reservoir is a must see location for those who enjoy the outdoors.

3. Mt.Ogden. Part of the Snowbasin Ski and Snowboard Resort, Mt. Ogden has over 26 miles of hiking and mountain biking trails to explore. Witness some of the most breathtaking views you’ll ever see as you take the gondola up the mountain.  In addition, there’s also a 9-hole disc golf course located at the base of the mountain, and Snowbasin offers a variety of free entertainment and concerts every Sunday.
