This Little Known Resort In Utah Will Be Your New Favorite Summer Destination
Snowbasin Resort in Huntsville offers a variety of summer activities including hiking, mountain biking, disc golf, and free concerts.
Most Utahns are familiar with the Salt Lake area ski resorts - Brighton, Alta, Solitude and Snowbird - but there’s another resort that's not nearly as well-known. It's in the Ogden Valley...and it’s an excellent summer destination. Snowbasin resort is located in Huntsville, on Mount Ogden.
Let's start by taking a look at this view...
Amazing, right?
Summer at Snowbasin Resort is magical.
Snowbasin has 26 miles of trails for hiking and mountain biking.
Three trails are just for hikers; all three take you to the top of the ridge, where you'll have some stunning views of the valley below.
Watch for moose!
Play a round of disc golf.
The nine hole course starts near the Needles Gondola. If you bring your own gear, you can play for free! Or, rent a disc golf package from the resort.
