Hike to Bloomington Lake
Saint Charles, Idaho

Bloomington Lake is deep in the mountains West of a small town called Bloomington. The road from the town to Bloomington Lake is a narrow dirt road. It takes about 35 minutes to take this road and most cars should be able to handle it. There's plenty of parking at the trailhead and some bathrooms as well. You can also get to the lake from the West side of the mountains. Just take Cub River Road...
Hike Mt. Magog
Richmond, Utah
5.0
5 mi
/ 1702 ft gain
Mt. Magog is one of the most visually striking mountains in the Bear River range. With its very rocky peak being visible from Tony Grove, it is often photographed, but rarely ever hiked. It is rarely hiked because there is not actually an official trail that goes to the summit. This makes the hike very burdensome and steep, but the views at the top are incredible. The peak is made up of several...

Enter the campground and drive to the east, over the Logan River bridge. The trailhead starts between campsites 29 and 30.

Logan, Utah
4.5
3.7 mi
/ 1000 ft gain
As you drive up Logan Canyon, you'll see the trailhead on the left side of the road, just after Guinavah-Malibu Campground. It's a fairly steep hike, but also very well maintained.
The Wind Caves are probably the most popular hike in Northern Utah and for a good reason. As you can see in the pictures, you can look out to Logan Canyon from the cave with a great view. If you look across the canyo...
Hike to Saddleback Mountain Reflectors
Logan, Utah
2.6 mi

Head east on the road going into Green Canyon, and just before the road turns Northeast, you will see a short dirt road continuing up towards the mountain next to a small power station. You can park anywhere along here. The trailhead is at the top of this road. The trail is hard to spot, but you will know it when you see it. The trail is incredibly steep. Due to the short distance, there are ba...
