April 17, 2017 Posted by: Jeremy Peterson

One of Ogden’s greatest assets is its amazing recreational opportunities.  The trail system that crisscrosses the mountain side provides abundant opportunities for someone looking for anything from a quick jaunt outdoors to a high adventure experience. Recently, I took the high adventure route with some friends as we attempted to summit Mt. Ogden.  Our adventure began at the trail head at the top of 27th St.  We got an early start at 6am when temperatures were just above freezing.

Things To Do In Utah:  Hiking to Scout Cave

November 23, 2015 Posted by: Jeremy Peterson

  Our family recently took a trip to St. George to decompress before the busy holiday season.  While we were in the area, we decided to explore some of the trails in the nearby wilderness.  Our quest took us to the Scout Cave and Johnson Canyon Arch trailhead just south of the entrance to Snow Canyon State Park. While the trail is pretty obvious at the early onset, the trail becomes more difficult to navigate moving forward.   As usual, southern Utah has an ‘other worldly’ appeal that is unique […]
