Grooming Calendar
busy = grooming planned for Green Canyon between 6 and 10 PM.
If you are a groomer, log in to the Google
calendar, then return here to see the calendar with names.
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 and trailhead. 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. Distance

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).

(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.
