Top Hot Springs Experiences in Bear Lake for Groups

Summer hiking in Utah's mountains around Eden offers cool relief from the valley heat and access to trails that are blanketed in wildflowers and alive with wildlife. While the lowlands bake in summer sun, the peaks above the Ogden Valley maintain comfortable temperatures and provide some of the most beautiful hiking in the state.

Top Summer Hikes Near Eden

The Waterfall Canyon Trail near Ogden is a moderately challenging hike that rewards with a stunning two-hundred-foot waterfall. The Ben Lomond Trail offers a strenuous but spectacular summit hike with panoramic views of the Great Salt Lake and surrounding ranges. For a gentler option, the trails around Causey Reservoir offer shaded forest walks along clear mountain streams.

Hiking Safety in the Mountains

• Start early to avoid afternoon thunderstorms common in summer
• Carry plenty of water even though temperatures are cooler than the valley
• Be aware of wildlife including moose, which are common in the Ogden Valley
• Tell someone your planned route and expected return time

After your hike, cool down at your Eden vacation rental with a dip in the hot tub or a refreshing drink on the deck. Book your summer mountain escape at LoveYourVacationRental.com.
