Brigham City - Hiking

Spend the Night in Comfort

The Wellsville Mountains rise above the Cache Valley northeast of Brigham City. They are said to be the steepest range in the country. There are a few demanding hikes to its ridge.

Deep Canyon to Stewart Pass		Difficult	4.5 mile oneway	4-1/2 hours

	This trail starts easily through maple and aspen before switchbacking steeply up to the range's ridge (8,120'). The trail follows the ridge south 1.6 miles to Stewart Pass (8,375') and meets Maple Bench Trail. The trailhead is at the western end of 300 North in the town of Mendon.

Maple Bench		Difficult	7.5 mile roundtrip	6 hours

	The trail passes small Coldwater Lake before climbing steeply up switchbacks to Stewart Pass. The trail turns south and follows the narrow ridge 1.5 miles to Wellsville Cone (9,350'). You can keep going another .4 miles to Box Elder Peak (9,375'), the highest point in the range.

Wellsville Ridge		Intermediate	7.5 miles (plus 6.5 miles by car or bicycle)	5 3/4 hours

	This peak is supposed to be an especially fine place to watch the hawks, but in fact if the conditions are right they can be seen almost everywhere along the ridge.
