Snowmobiling
Northern Utah is one of the favorite snowmobile playgrounds in America. Experience more than 300 miles of groomed trails through spectacular scenery with terrain that is as challenging or easy as you want it to be. The Bridgerland snowmobile complex in the Wasatch-Cache National Forest includes Logan Canyon, Monte Cristo, and Hardware Ranch. Some trails extend into Idaho in the adjacent Caribou National Forest. Snowmobile maps are available at the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau, 199 N. Main St. in Logan.
The snowmobile season begins in December and often extends into April or May. The average annual snowfall in Logan Canyon is 400+ inches.
