Mountain Bike Tours at Snowbasin

Huntsville, Utah

Did you know that Snowbasin offers mountain bike tours? Yes, they do! Every Saturday, June 20 thru September 26, at 10:30 am, at a cost of $15.

Introduction to mountain biking is for those who are comfortable riding on pavement but unsure how to make the transformation to the dirt. Basic techniques are taught while riding on gentle terrain. As the day progresses and your skills improve you'll move to more challenging terrain. No bike necessary. If you don't own a mountain bike, The Grizzly Center has bikes for rent.

The tour takes 3 hours and is considered easy to moderate. Helmets are required. You can bring your own, but it must be in good working order. This activity is for those age 7 and up.

The Ogden Valley Balloon & Artist Festival 2015

 

The Ogden Valley Balloon & Artist Festival is returning to the Ogden Valley again this year on August 14, 15 & 16, 2015. The festival has moved to several different locations in previous years, but this year it's returning to Eden park, its original location.

Fifteen balloons will launch twice each day, early morning and early evening, and fill the Ogden Valley skies with colorful hot air balloons. This years festival will also include continuous live entertainment with music, pie eating contests, artist booths, food vendors and family games. Friday and Saturday evenings the popular balloon glow will take place at dusk, when hot air balloons tethered to the ground will inflate and illuminate the night sky.

Come early as each morning breakfast will be available beginning at 7:00 am, and all proceeds will benefit to the Ogden Rescue Mission.

Entrance to the festival is free, but there will be a charge for games, vendor food and artist's wares.

Parking at Eden Park is limited so please consider car pooling. VIP parking will also be available and can be purchased at ogdenvalleyballoonfestival.com where you'll find more information and a full schedule of events.

Hope to see you there!
