Logan, Utah, is an undiscovered treasure with the ideal blend of outdoor adventure, a charming historic downtown, live theatre and musical performances, living history of the American West and so much more.
Logan is perfectly situated between two mountain ranges on the most scenic way from Salt Lake City to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
First, your hotel is only a 10-minute drive from the national forest, and exploring the beauty of Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway is at the top of your list. You can hike, picnic, mountain bike, canoe, fish, bird-watch, rent horses or side-by-side RZRs, take beautiful pictures and even rock climb. The 69-kilometre Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway features dramatic limestone cliffs, the Logan River and pine forests and alpine trees on the way to the breathtaking turquoise waters of Bear Lake.
Then, discover why each summer Logan becomes Utah’s Heart of the Arts with three live-performance theatres in the historic theatre district and two on the campus of Utah State University booked with professional performances. Free hour-long concerts every summer weekday downtown. Logan will host more than 150 live performing arts events from mid-June through August.
That’s not to mention community festivals, a giant classic car show, and rodeos. The new outdoor Laub Plaza downtown features a splash pad, live performances, fire pits and larger-than-life games like checkers, chess and Jenga. Stroll our charming rodeos and downtown Logan’s brand new plaza, cafes, unique specialty shops and theatres.
Logan is the largest city in beautiful agricultural Cache Valley, and because of that heritage, dozens of food products are made or grown here and shipped out all over the world. Taste your way through the valley and sample Gossner cheese and boxed milk, Aggie ice cream (made for more than a hundred years), internationally renowned Caffe Ibis coffee, Pepperidge Farm cookies and goldfish crackers, gourmet honey products at Cox Honeyland, hand-dipped Bluebird chocolates and more. They’re all part of our self-guided Foodie Trek and Signature Products Tour.
The gardeners market is held every Saturday morning at the historic courthouse mid-May through mid-October. The courthouse is home to the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau and Gift Shop with a friendly and knowledgeable team and a local gift shop that can’t be beat.
You’ll never forget a chance to step back in time at the American West Heritage Center, a 65-hectare outdoor living history museum. Experience the Old West hands-on and learn about mountain men, farmers and pioneers. Throw hatchets, milk the cow or play pioneer games. Watch the blacksmith at work, take a wagon or pony ride, see the bison, make arts and crafts, listen to stories and more.

Cache Valley is like that special treat hidden on the highest shelf of the pantry. It’s nice and quiet, removed from Utah’s main thoroughfares in between majestic mountains.
