North Ogden Canyon is an easy out-and-back hike of about a mile through the Ogden Ranger District of Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The Forest Service manages the land, and the trail rises about 274 feet from its low point of 5,896 feet to a high of 6,185 feet. The trail is natural-surfaced and open to both horses and bikes, and it is not accessible. The most comfortable stretch for a visit runs from June through September, when typical averages from the nearby Eden-Liberty weather station reach the upper 70s by day and the low 40s at night. That station sits roughly 1,000 feet below the trail's high point, so temperatures on the route run cooler. The trail is open from about May 15 through November 1. The Skyline South Trail and North Ogden Trailhead Road both lie about 0.4 miles away. Climbers can head to the North Ogden climbing area, about 3 miles off, and paddlers to the Ogden River, about 5 miles away.
