Snowbasin Summer Activities – Ogden Valley Utah (Eden, Huntsville, Liberty)

Most people think of Snowbasin Resort for winter of course.  After all, Snowbasin enjoys the benefits of The Greatest Snow on Earth along with Nordic Valley (fka Wolf Mountain) and Powder Mountain.  But what about summers?  From hiking, biking, disc golf, free concerts, food and many other activities, you’ll never got board here.

The vistas from the top and bottom of the resort are breathtaking year-round. Spending time up here is a great way to beat the summer heat too.

This shot was taken in mid-June after a wet spring, so everything is still super green and beautiful as you can see.

A Little About Ogden Valley’s Causey Reservoir

Causey Reservoir is one of the most peaceful bodies of water I’ve ever experienced.  Photos were take from about 100 feet up during early Spring (most of the snow was gone and it hadn’t started to green up yet).  Click on each photo for full size image.

People ask me why we chose Ogden Valley Utah to live.  I got to the point where I realized that unless you’ve spent time here, there’s just no way to understand the beauty of the Ogden Valley.  Besides being home to three amazing ski resorts: Snowbasin (host of the 2002 Winter Olympic Games), Powder Mountain (know affectionally as PowMow) and Nordic Valley (formally Wolf Mountain), there’s dozens of reasons to live here.
