Logan Travel Information
Logan is a very attractive small city situated in the verdant Cache
Valley. The Bear River Mountains (really the northernmost extension of
the Wasatch Range) rise just east of town while the exceptionally
steep Wellsville Mountains provide a pretty backdrop to the Cache
Valley farmlands to the west. Logan boasts a handsome downtown area
and pretty tree-lined residential neighborhoods. Its architectural
focal point is the gleaming Logan Temple set on a hill near the center
of town. Utah State University, with its 20,000 students, adds
youthful energy to the pleasant rural town. Unlike cities of the
Wasatch Front (Ogden, Salt Lake City, Provo) that share a sprawling
urban area, Logan benefits from being a bit isolated, and is by any
measure a very inviting place.
The mountains surrounding Logan provide good opportunities for
hiking, biking, fishing and camping, and, in winter, downhill and
cross-country skiing. Logan has plenty of motels and restaurants and
all the other shops and services you'd expect in a moderate-sized
city. View
