Groomed and Backcountry Ski Trails
Sink Hollow and Beaver Bottoms were groomed late last
night (2/1/10). So both tracks look great so get out and see
the grooming before it snows again.

Groomed Trails
Nordic United is collaborating with the City of North
Logan, the Forest Service, and the State of Utah to groom
Nordic trails in Cache County. Maintaing these trails takes
time and money - if you use and enjoy these trails, please
consider volunteering with and/or donating to NU so that we
can continue to provide and ensure that there are groomed
trails in Cache Valley!
 Green
Canyon: From Logan, go to the intersection of 1900
North and 1600 East. From there, head east on 1900 North for
about a mile, where you'll find a parking area with restroom
facilities. A groomed trail continues up the canyon for
about 4 miles. Nordic United volunteers, groomers paid by
Nordic United, and the City of North Logan will groom the
trail several times per week during the 2010-2011
season.
Sink
Hollow/Beaver Bottoms: From Logan, travel east on
Hwy 89 about 25 miles to the Beaver Mountain turnoff (0.8
miles past milepost 486). Turn left here and go about 1/2
mile, where you'll find parking for both Beaver Bottoms
groomed track (across the road to the west) and the Sink
Hollow trail (to the north). Click here to download a
trail map (pdf). During the 2010-2011 season, Nordic United
will arrange to have the Beaver Bottoms trail groomed
several times primarily in advance of GenXC and other
cross-country ski events. Check the event schedule and grooming report
for details.
Other
groomed trails: For years many skiers in Cache
Valley have also taken advantage of grooming on National
Forest roads, which is done by Utah and Idaho State Parks
for snowmobile use. The time to skate on these trails is
early in the morning after the groomer is finished but
before the snowmobilers are out. Links for grooming
schedules and reports.
Backcountry Trails
There are far too many opportunities for backcountry
skiing in the Bear River and Wellsville Ranges to list them
all here. We recommend that you inquire at the local gear
shops and the USU Outdoor Rec Center, or simply ask anyone
who you see in the backcountry (we're all pretty friendly
here!).
Bunchgrass:
From Logan, travel east on Hwy 89 for about 20 miles. Just
past the turnoff for Tony Grove Lake, near milepost 481,
you'll find ample parking on the right. An ungroomed
backcountry trail leads several miles up the drainage to
the west (across the highway).
Nordic United is a registered 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization.
Donations are
tax-deductible.
