Logan
Beautiful Cache Valley
Logan, Utah, is located approximately 90 miles northeast of Salt Lake City.
From remote areas accessible only to hearty backpackers, to beautiful views
enjoyed on a leisurely walk, Utah’s wide, open spaces are a patchwork
of scenic, recreational, and historic venues.
Logan Canyon Scenic Byway
This byway begins at the mouth of Logan Canyon, just east of the city of Logan,
in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The 41-mile road winds through a parade
of towering cliffs, glacial cirques, and natural springs and waterfalls. The
climb from 4,700 feet to 7,800 feet at the canyon’s summit is rewarded
by a sweeping view of Bear Lake.
Hiking
Logan Canyon’s abundance of scenic trails make hiking a delight to all.
Spring Hollow is located about 6.5 miles up the canyon and is an easy ½
mile walk to one of the region’s most photographed rivers. Another trail
winds its way to the 1,500 year-old Jardine Juniper tree. A one-mile hike to
the Wind Cave is an outstanding example of a series of arches and rooms formed
by wind and ice erosion.
Mountain Biking
Many popular biking routes are located in this region, offering all levels of
terrain. Rides take you through forested canopies, near rivers and lakes, and
through interesting limestone outcroppings. Bike rental is available at local
bike shops.
Boating/Water Sports
The unique blue color of Bear Lake coined the nickname “Caribbean of the
Rockies.” Bear Lake is Utah’s second largest freshwater lake and
is 20 miles long and 8 miles wide. Personal watercraft, sailboats, and ski boats
can be rented.
