Much of this trail follows the utility service road below the power lines and parallel to the North Ogden Pass Road. It climbs eastward from North Ogden, peaks at the North Ogden Divide, and then descends into Ogden Valley.
| Trailhead location:
To start in North Ogden and walk east--Go north on Mountain Road to 2750 N and park at the gate. Walk east, and then northeast, heading into the canyon.
To start in Ogden Valley and walk west--In Liberty, drive south on 2900 E. After a mile from the 2900 E/North Ogden Pass Road intersection, the road turns east. At this point, look for a gate on the south side of the road.
Start at North Ogden Divide, and head downhill in either direction!
| Trail history:
Climbing this trail will give you the feeling for the days when Indians and trappers called this "Lodge Pole Trail" and knew the North Ogden Divide as the main thoroughfare through the mountains. Back then, Ogden Canyon was virtually impassable.
