Northern Utah’s Best Outdoor Activities 

Capitol Reef National Monument

Located in south-central Utah in the heart of red rock country, Capitol Reef National Park is a hidden treasure filled with cliffs, canyons, domes, and bridges in the Waterpocket Fold, a geologic monocline (a wrinkle on the earth) extending almost 100 miles.

This little gem located 30 minutes outside of Cedar City is a must see when in the area. It is actually a National Monument Park with camping, hiking trails, and breathtaking views. The 10,000 + ft of elevation helps. I recommend the Spectra Point hiking trail for great views of the whole place.

Bonneville Shoreline Trail (BST)

The Bonneville Shoreline Trail offers lots of outdoor activities including mountain biking, hiking, trail running, x-cross skiing, scenic views and rock climbing. The trail caters to both families with children and the experienced outdoors person.

Arches National park

This is a great place to visit year round. In fact if you can stand the cooler months the views are great, and the crowds are low. Arches offers many trail hiking options to see several arches.  The license plate classic “Delicate Arch” is a good destination if you have never been there. The park provides hiking options for all abilities. Check out this link for more details and enjoy our Utah desert.

White Rock Trailhead at Antelope Island State Park

One of my favorite local rides in the area is on Antelope Island. It offers both hiking and mountain biking. I like a trail called White Rock on the West side of the lake with amazing views. I like to park at the White Rock parking lot and ride the loop counter clockwise. You can do multiple laps if you want more mileage. Great ride for all abilities.

TIPS FROM BRETT

Plan a sunset ride and bring an after ride picnic.
=
Ride the loop backwards for a different ride and extra mileage.

TIPS FROM JULI

=
This trail is a great place to take beautiful panoramic pictures looking back towards the mountains.

TIPS FROM JONAH

=
Enjoy the trails during off season for the biting flies. Check with a local bike shop like The Bikers Edge for trail conditions.

Sardine Loop

I usually start this trail at the lower parking lot at Snowbasin. You can access this trail from a few different parking areas, depening on how long of a ride you are looking for. There is a gate to what used to be a campground area. You start by riding down a wide dirt road, and that road will take you to a couple of different options. You can go straight up towards the Overlook trail, or head right at the junction to ride counterclockwise. The recommended and the most common way to ride is clockwise. The trail climbs up to the top of the overlook ridge and then back over towards great views of Pineview reservoir.  This is where the downhill fun begins with long sweeping switchbacks and amazing views.

You can add some mileage and take the overlook view side trail and go see great views of Ogden. 
=
Also there is a natural arch you can find if you know where to look – message me for the secret details.

TIPS FROM JULI

=
This trail is gorgeous in the fall.
=
Definitely take the extra time to ride to the top of the Overlook point. The views into Ogden Canyon are gorgeous!

TIPS FROM JONAH

=
This is a great hiking trail as well, and you can take little ones out for as long as they want to go.
