The Ogden area is an outdoor climbing paradise. There are outdoor climbing adventures for beginning through expert climbers. Our most popular climbing areas are described below; additional climbing in Ogden Canyon and elsewhere is just minutes from downtown Ogden. Climb safely, responsibly and courteously.

Like any western state, as snowpack melts and cascades down, the Ogden area has abundant whitewater. However, when most stream flows around the west taper off, Ogden still has options to dip your paddle.

If you check out the various Utah online and printed mountain bike guides, you’ll see that the Skyline Trail is considered a “must ride” singletrack for its long, demanding climbs, wildflowers and unbelievable views as you ride the ridge between the Ogden metropolitan area to the west and lush Ogden Valley to the east. However, that 30-mile Olympic-caliber section of trail represents about 10% of what’s available to fat tire fanatics in the area.
The city of Ogden is currently finalizing its application to the League of American Bicyclists to obtain designation as a Bicycle Friendly Community. If granted, Ogden will be the first city in Utah to obtain such status. Beyond the paperwork and clerical elements of the application, dozens of community players have worked tirelessly to expand bike routes, improve signage, increase education among cyclists and motorists, implement legislation and install community bike racks.
