DESTINATION

Logan

The Logan Utah Family Search Library, on the lower level of the Logan Tabernacle at 50 N. Main, is open to visitors for genealogical research. The history center contains computers, microfilm, microfiche, books, periodicals and manuscripts for reference use; phone (435) 755-5594. The tabernacle is open for tours in summer.

The Jardine Juniper is believed to be Earth's largest and oldest juniper tree. An easy 4.4-mile trail to the 1,500-year-old tree begins 12 miles up Logan Canyon. To the west are the Wellsville Mountains, described as the world's tallest mountains rising from the narrowest base.

Hardware Ranch, 15 miles up Blacksmith Fork Canyon on SR 101, is an elk feeding station where the animals can be viewed during sleigh rides in winter (weather permitting) or from the visitor center. For more information phone (435) 753-6168.

Logan also is the southeastern terminus of the Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway (US 89), which ends at Bear Lake State Park. This road runs through Logan Canyon beneath cliffs, through forested areas and along a river.

Nearby Bear Lake—20 miles long, 8 miles wide and some 200 feet deep—is a turquoise-colored lake with white-sand beaches. Four state parks offer facilities for boating, jet skiing, sailboarding, fishing, swimming, picnicking and camping. Equipment rentals are available at the beach or in Garden City. North of the Bear Lake Marina is a marker along the Oregon Trail. Several ski resorts are located off US 89. A published guide that describes 15 scenic hiking trails can be obtained at the Cache Valley Visitors Bureau.
