Trackline Bike Park - Ogden's NEWEST bike park
steph
8 October 2020
My mom sent me a text about this new park on Ogden. There were a couple photos but it didn't even have an address listed. We decided to pack up the bikes today (which is no small miracle in and of itself 5 kids, plus my massive bike doesn't work if we are taking kids to ride the bikes that we pack. So we made the executive decision to leave the littlest Read at home with Papa so we would all fit. We really need to get a bike rack, and a hitch ASAP. It should be noted that while
Art Nord Hiking Trail at Snowbasin Resort | Salt Project Hike Meet-Up
harm
Thu, 10/10/2019 - 21:01
A few weeks ago we had a Hike Meet-Up with Tim from This is Ogden! We hiked the Art Nord Trail, a family-friendly hike just off of the old Snowbasin Road. Be sure to check out the trail maps and tips below. Thanks to all of you that came! We had quite a group. We had families, people who just happened to see our FB Hike Event and were visiting the state, people of all ages and skill levels. It was really fun to get together with a group that we might not have otherwise met. The Art Nord Trailhead
Birdsong Trail
harm
7 August 2019
The other morning my friend asked if I wanted to hike/bike the Birdsong Trail in Ogden. I hadn't been on the trail for a number of years and was really thrown off when my friend said it's "mostly shaded." The Birdsong Trail I went on years ago didn't have much shade, so I was really curious. Little did I know there was another section right off Taylor street and it really was "mostly shaded!" It did start out in full sun for a hot minute at the top of the trailhead. Birdsong Trail is 1 mile one way. Birdsong is

Epic Birthday Party Date Night - Fly High
steph
15 January 2019
Confession. My birthday is in November. Not January. But because my birthday is in November, it gets skipped/combined/put off every stinking year. This year I went out to dinner with my siblings for Christmas (a couple weeks after my birthday) and at the end of the meal, as an after thought, someone said, hey, this counts as Stephs birthday dinner. They sang, they brought out my free dessert, it was nice, but it once again, it was kind of an after thought. This has been happening since the beginning of time. Every year I say, next year I'm going to
Ogden Christmas Tree on The Bonneville Shoreline
harm
15 December 2018
We finally did it! After one failed attempt, we headed back up the mountain to find the Ogden Christmas Tree on the Bonneville Shoreline Trail! It's just as lovely as all the photos we've seen. Lucky for us, this is a trail we know and love VERY much. We actually call it the Bench Hike Trail. Because if you go further south on the trail you'll find yourself at the best bench to view Ogden City. Today, it was 47 degrees. It was the perfect day to attempt hiking to the Ogden Christmas Tree. We tried earlier this week, but
Ogden 9th Street Bike Park
harm
28 November 2018
As my kids have gotten older, I've come to realize that little boys are WAYYYY different than girls. Ha! I mean, my little girls are just as adventurous, but my little boy is constantly fidgeting, wrestling and running around. While his sister is happy to color for an hour, he's content for about 5 seconds. Lucky for us, Orion has a BFF that lives down the street who is his exact age and height. I've been thinking about bike parks for a while, ever since Jack's mom took these two mountain biking while we hiked. I finally just DID it
Monarch Mural in Ogden
harm
22 September 2018
Ogden has a new mural and it is amazing! It's by The Monarch building (coming soon.) I don't have a whole bunch of details as we just BARELY stopped today and quickly snapped a few photos. There was a plaque with info but the kids were kind of running around like crazies, so I had to make it quick. It's a HUGE mural that goes around into the parking area. Be sure to check it out!
Park City Rafting
steph
30 July 2018
I was searching options to float the Weber River, one of our favorite summer traditions since we moved back to Utah. We usually float the same spot in Ogden but I knew there was a place you could go for a longer ride. While searching I found Park City Rafting. I had no idea you could raft the Weber River! And the best news is that you can take kids as young as 3! This would be a perfect addition to our Summer Bucket List for the whole family (minus #readsbonusbaby). The raft fits quite a few people so I
Carver's Cove Petting Farm

7 July 2018
I don't know how your summer is going but has anyone else's kids been sick forever!! It's kind of maddening. One kid gets it and everyone after that. It goes on for weeks. Luckily, my sister asked if we wanted to go for a drive. It's the perfect thing to do with one baby getting over sickness + her older brother and sister who just started getting sick. We drove up to Causey Reservoir and I seriously wished everyone felt better, the water was calling us. In the end, we drove all the around Pineview Reservoir and happened upon Carver's
