Description

Added by David Mortensen

Hike the historical trail of the old railroad of the Central Pacific and union pacific where they crossed paths.

This trail is easy for all levels of hikers. You'll begin the trail on the central Pacific's grade where they build the railroad, and return on the union Pacific's grade.

The big fill trail is a 1.5 mile loop that will take you about 1-1.5 hours to walk, but an avid hiker will be able to go through faster.

An awesome part of this hike is being able to see the deep cuts that the company had to make to keep the elevation and seeing how they did it in the 1800's.

Box Elder Peak

From the Rattlesnake Trailhead (about a mile northeast of the Sherwood Hills Resort on U.S. 89) to the peak is just under 4.5 miles. The hike is great exercise, as it's relatively steep. The steep angle provides for stunning views along the entire trail, making this one of the most picturesque hikes in northern Utah. Higher up on the trail, fields of bright, beautiful wildflowers contrast with...

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 to Saddleback Mountain Reflectors

Head east on the road going into Green Canyon, and just before the road turns Northeast, you will see a short dirt road continuing up towards the mountain next to a small power station. You can park anywhere along here. The trailhead is at the top of this road. The trail is hard to spot, but you will know it when you see it. The trail is incredibly steep. Due to the short distance, there are ba...

Catch a Sunset on Antelope Island

This is a great place to catch a sunset with the herds of Buffalo grazing and the surrounding mountain ranges. With the clouds moving over the mountains and the water reflecting the sunset, you can get amazing shots if that's what you're interested in.The smart move when heading there is to drive over with your significant other or good friends and pack up the picnic goods. You can take in the ...

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. The...
