Ogden Spring: All of it, All at Once

Visit Ogden, Utah, for an unforgettable spring getaway– top spring skiing, scenic hikes, and a vibrant downtown—the ideal mix of winter joy and spring fun.

Experience two seasons. One city. Zero reasons to stay home.

Most destinations make you choose. Ski trip or outdoor adventure. Winter getaway or Spring break. Ogden skips that conversation entirely. In April, you can ski powder in the morning, hike to a waterfall by afternoon, and watch the sunset with a drink from a rooftop patio. And that’s just a random Tuesday here.

Here’s how you can experience why Spring in Ogden hits different.

Our Ski Resorts

Ogden is home to three ski resorts: Powder Mountain, Snowbasin Resort, and Nordic Valley. Spring doesn’t mean ski season is over here; it means skiing with better weather, longer days, and way shorter lift lines. With an average of 500 inches of the Greatest Snow on Earth is still ready to be skied on. You can expect softer conditions, fewer crowds, and sunny days with a mountain backdrop the whole family will remember.

Our Trails

As the season shifts and temperatures start to warm, the itch to hit the trails returns in full force. Conditions can bring their own challenges, with melting snow often leading to fast-moving streams, muddy trails, and slick terrain. A little extra caution goes a long way when hiking during the spring season. Explore Waterfall Canyon, which is running with snowmelt right now, and the crowds haven’t shown up yet. The Bonneville Shoreline Trail (The BST) is perfect for a morning run or a casual ride with a view. Malan’s Peak is short, steep, and worth every step.

Our Golf Courses

Ogden's golf scene covers every style. For that feeling of being next to the mountains with every shot, try Mount Ogden, El Monte, or The Barn. For open play with panoramic views, head west to Schneiters Riverside, Eagle Lake, or Remuda. Not ready for 18? Birdie Golf's indoor virtual range next to Rooster's Brewing is the move.

Our Downtown

Historic 25th Street wakes up with open patios, rooftops, and Farmer's Markets, and spring is when the whole community come spends time in parks and walks around our town. Locally owned shops prop their doors open, restaurants spill onto the sidewalks, and there's a laid-back energy that makes it easy to lose track of time. The Nine Rails Creative District is worth a full afternoon walk through local art and creative spaces. Check out our events calendar for First Friday Art Strolls and live events.

Keep the Day Going:

If you’re looking for something quick and fun for the whole family, Ogden always has more. The Ogden Dinosaur Park is a must for kids, with life-sized dinosaurs and an indoor fossil museum. iRock Utah, the bouldering gym, is a great active option for families with older kids. The Hill Aerospace Museum is free and genuinely fascinating for all ages. And when the group needs a slower pace, the Ogden Nature Center is a peaceful, beautiful way to wrap up the day.

Ogden in spring is a rare destination where the answer to “what do you want to do?” is provided by mountains, trails, and a downtown scene that doesn’t require much of a drive to get to.
