I grew up in Ogden and can say that the fall colors are unbeatable! If you head up Ogden Canyon MAKE SURE you stop at RAINBOW GARDENS and shop and have lunch at THE GREENERY RESTURANT! I worked there when I was in college and the shopping and food are a great time! A must see with the fall colors and nice ending to a drive up the canyon.

Born and raised in Ogden. I remember my family would frequently look outside the back window and search the mountains for color. Once a year, we would pile in the station wagon (back seat facing rear) and drive up the canyon to collect leaves. Camping has minimal comforts, but, then again why else are you going camping? Recommend: stay in town and drive up.
