Paper Airplane Trail Reviews
Very easy hike. About halfway there is a large treehouse deck you can chill on. I’m a sucker for land art so I stood and stared at this big airplane for minutes. The view is amazing from this spot. You can see Snowbasin and the Eden valley. Over the Ogden divide you can see the Great Salt Lake.

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...
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...
Hike the Skull Creek Trail of Causey Reservoir
To get to the trailhead from Ogden, Utah, take 12th street east up canyon and around Pine View Reservoir. When you get to Huntsville, turn right and continue to head east up the canyon. IN 8 miles you will come to a sign for Causey Road. Turn right here and follow the road to the dam. Turn right to cross the dam and follow the road until it ends in a parking lot. The trail starts on the north o...
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.
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.

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...
