ADVENTURE AWAITS JUST OUTSIDE YOUR OFFICE
With its crystal-clear lakes and towering mountains in the north and spectacular red rock canyons and arches in the south, Utah’s terrain and climate are unmatched. Logan is tucked away in pristine Cache Valley in northern Utah, positioned with direct access to Logan Canyon, a National Scenic Byway. The valley, surrounded by stunning mountain ranges, is beautiful during all four seasons, particularly fall and spring.
The dry climate is ideal for enjoying the outdoors. Locals hike, bike, camp, kayak, canoe, sail, fish, golf, rock climb, swim, ski, snowboard, snowshoe, snowmobile, and more. During summer, locals flock to Bear Lake for a day of fun in the sun. Affectionately known as the “Caribbean of the Rockies,” Bear Lake boasts turquoise-blue water and sandy beaches. Not too far from Cache Valley, you’ll also find adventures in Idaho, Wyoming, and Colorado.
Approximately 80% of Utah land is reserved for public use. Utah is home to 16 national parks, monuments, recreation areas, and historic sites. It has some of the highest mountain peaks in the country, boasts some of the best mountain biking in the world, and is known for its world-class ski resorts. Southern Utah is famous for slick-rock mountain biking and all-terrain vehicle adventures. Our sand dunes are popular with dune buggy enthusiasts, and speed fanatics often attempt to break speed records at Bonneville Salt Flats, which hosts events like Speed Week and World of Speed.
You can also try your hand at rock hounding and discover fossils, geodes, gem-quality topaz, red beryl, and sun stones. If your interests are Jurassic in nature, Utah has the densest concentration of dinosaur fossils ever discovered.
If the typical outdoor adventures don’t pique your interest, there are plenty of local sports teams, restaurants, fine art, music venues, museums, and and theater nearby. Whatever your pursuits, Utah is a wonderful place to call home.
