The Best Scenic Road Trip of Fall Colors in Ogden, Utah

Mother nature's fireworks display is underway!

Fall is one of the best times to explore Ogden Valley. As the leaves change, a scenic drive through the mountains connects downtown to the North Ogden Divide, North Fork Park, Pineview Reservoir, Huntsville, and Ogden Canyon in one loop. This route makes it easy to experience some of Northern Utah's best fall scenery!

For an even richer experience, park at any of the dozens of trailheads along the way and hike or bike for some one-on-one time with Mother Nature. Historically, the leaves hit their peak in Ogden during the last week of September, but any time during the fall season is the perfect time to enjoy the colors changing.
