Wolf Creek Village 1

It's mid March and some ice can still be seen on Pineview Reservoir. What a beautiful day outside.

Mornings are a great time to be out boating, fishing or paddle boarding at Pineview Reservoir. Less than ten minutes away from Wolf Creek Village 1, there are beaches, water access, fishing spots, and boat launches. All giving you access to a fabulous play spot. Boat, and jet ski rentals are available in the Ogden Valley and Fishing licenses can be purchased at Valley Market.

This is the first post in a series of different trail heads to explore in the Ogden Valley. We start with one right next to Pineview reservoir.  It will be the first trail you find after crossing over Pineview Dam. The trail starts right at the corner of the parking lot and goes right down to the water. The trail is 3.1 miles one way and can be accesed by those walking, biking, horse riding or snowshoeing. It is a fairly easy trail with lots of natural surface. These pictures are the morning view from the trail head.

Wolf Creek was graced with a rain day today although it is still nice to get out and take a drive around Pineview Reservoir.   Here are some signs that you will find around the beaches at Pineview Reservoir. One that will need to be added to the top sign is no alcoholic beverages. This ordinance was passed within the past month.  

Spring Creek is one of several accesses to Pineview Reservoir. Unlike some of the others you will need to walk a little bit but not very far.

In a few weeks we will start a short series on trails in the Ogden Valley. We wanted to give you a glimpse of what the North Ogden Divide trail looked like this morning. Notice the road down below? This is really high.

Anyone with children knows just now much fun going down a hill on a sled or tube can be. The great thing is that there are two places to go for fun tubing and many other places for both sledding or tubing. Snowbasin offers a 4 lane tubing hill that provides fun for all ages. The tubing hill is located at the former finish line of the 2002 Downhill ski course. Access to the top of the hill is provided by a hand tow lift. No need to bring your own tube as one is included with your ticket purchase. For more information visit their website at http://develop.snowbasin.com/the-mountain/tubing-hill Wasatch Parc operates a tubing hill located at Nordic Valley Ski Resort. The fun part of it is that you don't go straight down the hill, there are turns. Then once at the bottom you are pulled back up again, no walking. Tubes are also included with the purchase of a ticket. Their website is: http://www.wasatchparc.com/ If you are interested in going to find a spot of your own for t...
