Morning in Waterfall Canyon (Summer 2015)

Ogden, Utah

Description

The gorgeous 200-ft waterfall at the end of hiking through mountain forest scenery!

-You'll get to the trail by Mt. Ogden Trailhead (29th street). Continue to walk up, and you'll find directions to Waterfall Canyon trail.

-The beginning of the trail is soil path. The trail will become very open with no shade. But then the trail will become mountainous, rocky terrain: the path becomes filled with rocks and has lots of tree cover.

-The trail is all incline!

-Incredibly scenic. There are lots of wildflowers towards the beginning of the trail, while there is a continuous stream alongside the trail as you get closer to the waterfall.

1 small snake was spotted

-Do not climb on the rocks near the waterfall- many people have died from climbing on loose rocks.

Waterfall Canyon

Waterfall Canyon is one of the most popular hikes in the Ogden area. The trailhead is easy to find, just head east on 29th street until you hit the base of the mountains and the parking lot is on the right. There are plenty of parking spots and restrooms but sometimes the restrooms are locked. Take the trail until it meets up with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail. You will pass a fence with sign...

Malans Peak

You can reach this trail either via 27th Street or 29th Street in Ogden, Utah. Get on one of those roads and then head east until you reach the mountain. On 27th St. there is some parking on the road with a sign reminding people to keep their dogs on leash. On 29th St. there is a large parking lot with a covered entrance for the trail. Between the two lots, I prefer the 27th St. trailhead. The...

Waterfall Canyon Trail via Ogden Park

Hike the Wheeler Creek and Icebox Canyon Loop

To get to the trailhead from Ogden drive up Ogden Canyon toward Pine View Reservoir. Right when the canyon begins to open up and you can see the actual dam there is a turn off on the south side of the road that leads down a dirt road to a very small parking area and the trailhead. If the parking area is full there is some additional parking just off of the Ogden Canyon Road. If you see the wate...

Green Pond Loop

About a mile before Snowbasin, is a parking lot with a map and trail marker. The first incline is steep and follows a single track trail that leads to the ponds. This trail is great year-round, but in the winter, you may have some stray backcountry snowboarders in the area. It's pretty quiet overall.

Ben Lomond via North Skyline Trail

The trail starts in the Right Fork North Ogden Canyon near Liberty, Utah. Park in the main parking lot and then cross the road to the trailhead. You will see a sign at the beginning indicating that the Ben Lomond summit is 8.2 miles away. In the spring, it is quite difficult to make it all the way to the summit. Snow covers most of the path well into May, however I'd still highly recommend th...
