Cache Valley is a climbing area in northern Utah, within the Logan Ranger District of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. It sits among a cluster of outdoor destinations, with the Bonneville Shoreline Trail about a mile away and the Close to Home climbing area roughly 2 miles off. The climbing here is sport, and the two routes listed, The Dursley's and The Weasley's, are both rated 5.10a. That makes the valley a compact stop for climbers looking for a pair of similar sport routes at a single grade. Summer is the warmest stretch for a visit. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Logan show July highs around 88°F with lows near 60°F, while September cools to highs in the mid-70s. Winter is cold, with January highs around freezing. Other options close by include the Big Baldy Trail, about 2 miles away, and the Providence Canyon climbing area, about 2.6 miles off. Paddlers can head to the Little Bear River, roughly 5 miles away, and Pioneer Campground offers camping about 6.5 miles from the valley.
