This Little Known Resort In Utah Will Be Your New Favorite Summer Destination
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.

Amazing, right?


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.
