Took this picture at a rest area before we got to the ranch.
Wasatch View Ranch is not a fancy place to stay and most people only stay for a single night. There are no trails off the property. The horses get a nice stall with a small run. Hay and mucking is included - $35 per horse and the LQ is free. We have electric hook-up for our trailer and water close enough by that we can fill our tank. The Maverick gas station at the end of the road has a free RV dump, so we plan to stop there when we leave Saturday.
We parked next to the corrals so we can access electricity.
Lennox peeking out at us from his stall.
We did a walking tour of the historical district of Ogden. It was pretty darn depressing. There was some public art, but not a lot going on and a lot of empty storefronts. Nobody wearing masks - not even people in the stores and restaurants.
We decided to drive our LQ 15 minutes away to the Equestrian Park so we could get a ride in. The parking lot is a good size - plenty of room for us to park and turn the trailer around.
There is a large arena, a picnic area with shade, and corrals. No bathrooms.
From the Equestrian Park, we rode up the road maybe 1/10 of a mile to the trailhead. We rode the N Ogden Canyon Trail. It was a bit rocky in sections, but overall a pretty trail.
Lots of fall colors and some wildflowers.
Altogether it was about a 2 hour ride. We could have ridden longer as there were other trails off the main one, but a two hour ride is about right for us
Tomorrow is Rosh Hashana so we plan to attend services over Zoom with our Santa Cruz congregation and then head to Antelope State Park.
