As most of us know, there are not a lot of trails near the cache valley area of utah. I do know that you can get to mount logan from a service road. Has anyone ever taken Canyon Road in Nibley? If you have please let me know what it is like. Also if anyone wants to inform me of any other trails around Cache valley. I would really appreciate it. I need to get out and explore!!!!! Oh and if anyone wants to meet up and do some runs, just let me know!!

welcome to the forum. I'll be posting a noobie to the forum run in a month or two once my rig is done. It won't be up by Logan, but it'll be out west of Lehi, at rattlesnake and constrictor. You're welcome to join us.

Keep an eye on the "upcoming wheeling trips" section and you'll see it posted soon.

Canyon Road in Nibley? To get to the mountains from Nibley, don't you need to go through Millville or Providence?

There are two accesses (directly, anyway) to Logan Peak. Providence and Millville Canyon. Providence is at least a "3" rated trail at best and can be a "4" or greater with the optional play areas or bad drainage years. Millville is at MOST a "3" rated trail. You're not wise to try to do the Prov. canyon stuff before most of the snow's off as it's a snowmobiler's area for the most part.

Cool area up there. You can travel from Hardware Ranch to Logan Canyon to Bear Lake via the road network up there. The roads usually aren't that challenging, but there's awesome stuff up there.

There is another access point to reach Logan Peak. It's actually via Logan Canyon and goes up past Camp Lomia. This is actually the access road for servicing the cell tower that is on top of Logan peak. It's a nice road until you reach the warming hut turn off. Then it gets more difficult. If you have a limited slip in the rear you can make the top in 2WD if you pick a good line. Remember it's an access road for servicing the cell tower, so it needs to be a pretty decent road for the service vehicles to get to the top. Millville is a great trail. Not extremely challenging, but I'd rate it at a 3. Prov is the more challenging of the three and is the most extreme trail in northern Utah. As mentioned earlier it all depends on water runoff and who has pulled what on the trail. The trail up Canyon Road in Nibley is actually Millville. So , yes you could get there using that trail. However, not until most of the snow is completely gone.

Actually the road past the warming hut up to the top no longer exists in its old form. A new road was cut late this fall that you can drive a car up. If you are coming up from the four corners side it is about a mile before the warming hut. Millville was also scraped 2 summers ago it is very easy now. It used to have a fair amount of lose rocks that made traction hard to get. At the quary in prov canyon the did a little work up in there filling in washed out areas this fall to.

What the crap!!! I didn't make it up to the top of Mt. Logan this last year, but if they really did cut another new road than all our fun wheeling areas are now gone. They changed the road a couple of years back and took out the lower rock garden. Now if they took out the upper rock garden that is around the corner from the warming hut than this trail will just suck!!! I know they scrape Millville every now and then, but there are or maybe were some fun ledges to play on. Somebody needs to put a stop to the Forest Service doing whatever they want and ticketing people for doing the same thing. I know they tried closing the road that takes you off the top of Mt. Logan over south to Prov Peak a number of years ago, but people kept pulling the sign that said road closed and driving through anyway. As long as the road is maintained, they have no rights to close it. If a road goes unmaintained for 7 years then they have right to "reclaim" it.

we're all having to get even more involved in fighting for our cause to keep our trails open. It's sad how few trails we have.

Well my jeep is not locked so I did not think I could make it the prov way. Thats why I was thinking Millville Canyon...... but we will see. I went to check out the entrance to Millville canyon today and it was too snowy and unmaintained to go by myself. I do not want to be stuck in a Canyon and have no way to drive out!!

We called them on the changes to the road they said it was planed back in 2005 or 2004 and that no one said anything then. They did not close the road they just moved part of it and made it easyer access. That being said STAY ON THE CURENT ROAD !!!!

Yep the Right hand/Whites bed ground route and much of Millville canyon are a highway now :-\ I'm a little bitter towards it myself.

I avoid any 4x4 action in and around Cache Valley during winter. There are no legal trails or roads in the area 'except' Prov Canyon which is open up to the quarry. However due to the amount of snowmobilers in the area I avoid it as well for the most part.

Yeah I really do think that! If no one gives up info on the net then I will never know where to go will I? No one I have talked to in logan knows anything about any trails.

Well I am sorry living in Logan is such a pain in the ass. I really like it here, and have discovered many many miles of off road trails to explore. Granted the winter closes a lot of them down but there are still a lot of places to check out, especially out west. I guess where you come from you have endless extreme trails at your beck and call? You could also check out a map, I know it is old technology but seems to work.

There are miles of trails around here. Right now they are just buried under a bunch of snow. Wait until spring and get out and do some driving. I find lots of new roads every time I go out. I really like the area between Preston over to Montpiller. Lots of trails and not a lot of people over there.
