Ogden Valley is a very special high mountain valley that’s breathtakingly beautiful, one that many claim is the most scenic spot in all of Northern Utah and home to Snowbasin, Powder Mountain and Wolf Mountain ski areas. It’s reminiscent of resort towns of days gone by, before seas of Slopeside condos, traffic lights and factory stores robbed the landscape of their solace and serenity. The Ogden Valley’s moderate year round climate makes this a Mecca for outdoor recreation enthusiasts. It’s an ideal place to live, whether you’re looking to move here year-round or just want a vacation condo or second home escape.

Perched just 8 miles up canyon from the newly hip city of Ogden (Utah’s Ski Company Capital, right) this geographic wonder includes a wide cirque of mountain peaks that encompass the three mountain hamlets of Eden, Huntsville and Liberty. Powder Mountain, Snowbasin Resort and Wolf Creek Utah Ski Resort offer a perfect trifecta of resort experiences, from a superb beginner/learning area to awesome backcountry skiing and riding to steep groomers and bump runs.
When the abundant snow melts off, the Valley greens up with lush vegetation and abundant wildflowers. Boating and fishing on Pineview Reservoir, hiking, road biking, mountain biking, horseback riding and ATV adventures are just a few of the activities to fill the long, sunny days. Evenings offer a variety of dining options in Ogden Valley and Ogden City, cool temperatures, dramatic sunsets and musical entertainment.
The Ogden Valley is not overrun with nightclubs, bars or dozens of restaurants, and the locals and visitors like it that way. They would much rather see the lights of the night sky than the neon lights of strip malls and big box retailers. Here, folks can bask in the relaxation and back-to-basics mood of this scenic wonderland, yet enjoy all the essentials such as grocery shopping, dining and a liquor store, knowing that the hustle and bustle of Ogden City with it’s historic and funky 25th Street, and family-fun Salomon Center are just a scenic 25 minute drive down Ogden Canyon.
This is a place that hasn’t been affected by traffic and shopping centers, yet is just an hour’s drive from Salt Lake City’s international airport and urban conveniences and culture. It’s a place where a family can gather to focus on what’s really important – quality time together.
