City Walks: Ogden Utah virtual treadmill walking tour
In late November, we cruised through Ogden, Utah. I'd never been into the downtown of Ogden before and it was a very nice surprise. It's a decent sized city but hidden off at the base of the mountains. We'd stayed in Ogden before but out by the highway. This time we stayed downtown among many nice hotels. My walk took me into the restaurant area over near the railroad museum and railyard and there were many nice looking restaurants and shops and a couple of breweries. All in all, I'd go back and spend more time, but we were traveling so I had to get out early and then hit the road.

Hiking The Peaks Of The Wasatch Mountains
The Wasatch Range is a mountain range that stretches approximately 160 miles (260 km) from the Utah-Idaho border, south through central Utah in the western United States. It is the western edge of the greater Rocky Mountains, and the eastern edge of the Great Basin region. The northern extension of the Wasatch Range, the Bear River Mountains, extends just into Idaho, constituting all of the Wasatch Range in that state.
According to the Utah History Encyclopedia, Wasatch in Ute means mountain pass or low pass over high range. According to William Bright the mountains were named for a Shoshoni leader who was named with the Shoshoni term wasattsi, meaning blue heron
Since the earliest days of settlement, the majority of Utah's population has chosen to settle along the range's western front, where numerous river drainages exit the mountains. The mountains were a vital source of water, timber, and granite for early settlers. Today, 85% of Utah's population lives within 15 miles (24 km) of the Wasatch Range, mainly in the valleys just to the west. This concentration is known as the Wasatch Front and has a population of just over 2,000,000 residents. Salt Lake City lies between the Wasatch Range and the Great Salt Lake.
At 11,928 feet (3,636 m), Mount Nebo, a triple peak rising above Nephi, Utah, at the southern end of the range, is the highest peak of the Wasatch. In some places the mountains rise immediately from the valley's base elevation of 4,330 feet (1,320 m) to over 11,000 feet (3,582 m), producing steep inclines. Other notable peaks include Mount Timpanogos, a massive peak which looms over northern Utah County and is especially prominent from Pleasant Grove and Orem; Lone Peak, the Twin Peaks, and Mount Olympus, which overlook the Salt Lake Valley; Francis Peak overlooking both Morgan and Davis counties; and Ben Lomond and Mount Ogden, both near Ogden, Utah.
Since they top out just below 12,000 feet (3,700 m), Wasatch peaks are not especially high compared to the Colorado Rockies or even the Uinta Mountains, the other main portion of the Rocky Mountains in Utah. However, they are sculpted by glaciers, yielding notably rugged, sweeping upland scenery comparing well with other prominent ranges of western North America. They also receive heavy falls of snow, in some places over 500 inches (1,300 cm) per year. This great snowfall, with its runoff, made possible a prosperous urban strip of some 25 cities along nearly 100 miles (160 km) of mountain frontage. The Wasatch Range is home to a high concentration of ski areas, with 11 stretching from Sundance in northern Utah County to Powder Mountain and Wolf Mountain northeast of Ogden. There is also one ski resort in the Bear River Mountains (Beaver Mountain). Park City alone is bordered by two ski resorts. Due to the low relative humidity in wintertime, along with the added lake-effect from the Great Salt Lake, the snow has a dry, powdery texture which most of the local ski resorts market as the Greatest Snow on Earth. The high concentration of ski resorts located close to a major urban area, as well as the famed light, powdery snow that's often considered good for skiing, were prime reasons for Salt Lake City's hosting of the 2002 Winter Olympics.
Several of the Wasatch canyons in the Lone Peak area, most notably Little Cottonwood Canyon, have a number of high-quality granite outcroppings, and make up a popular climbing area such as the Pfeifferhorn. Further north, Big Cottonwood Canyon features tricky climbing on quartzite.
The densely vegetated narrow canyons of the Wasatch Range, such as Big Cottonwood Canyon and Little Cottonwood Canyon are heavily visited; on September 25, 2005, 1,200 automobiles entered Little Cottonwood within one hour.[4] The canyons are located within 24 miles (39 km) of downtown Salt Lake City and the year-round paved roadways can reach 5,000 ft (1,500 m) higher in elevation above the city within a short distance. Dirt roads readily drivable in passenger cars with moderate clearance stretch up from Park City, Heber, and Big Cottonwood Canyon. These reach about 10,000 feet (3,000 m) above sea level and provide impressive long-range high country views.
Should I Move to Utah?
Is it a good idea to move to Utah if you are not a Mormon? What is Utah like for Non-Mormons? Where is the best place to move in Utah?
What about Provo, Ogden or Salt Lake City? Which is the best county: Davis, Weber, Salt Lake or Utah counties?
Should I move to Utah?
Why? You didn't become Mormon, did you?
No, I didn't. It is a growing state, and so many companies are relocating there that I want to know if I should move to Utah.
If you won't want to be immersed in Mormonism, live in Salt Lake City or Park City. Don't live in Utah County or Davis County.
Isn't Salt Lake City their spiritual center?
While Salt Lake City is the heart and soul of the Mormon church, it is also home to the largest percentage of non-Mormons in the state because of all the big employers.
I've heard that Mormons are dry, dull, boring and have no recreational opportunities.
The Tabernacle Choir is amazing. The Ballet West is one of the best ballets in the western United States.
I'm not big into the arts.
Utah has tons of national parks, five of them, and they aren't looking at banning ammunition or guns or hikers like California and Colorado. They're getting a lot of businesses fleeing California.
Why would businesses move there?
Utah gets high marks as being business friendly. Even Twitter is building a data center in Utah.
Where else could I get a job?
There are nationally recognized employers in Utah, such as a Delta Airlines hub, Qwest Communications, Novell and Wells Fargo. Manufacturers like L3 Communications, Autoliv and ATK Systems are based there.
Who else could I work for?
Many of the largest employers in Utah are educational, like Brigham Young University, Utah State University and the University of Utah. Or work at Hill Air Force Base or the IRS.
What about the weather there?
Winters around Salt Lake City are in the 20s, just below freezing; that's why the Winter Olympics were held there in 2002.
I'm afraid of getting overloaded there.
Mormons try to love bomb you to pressure you to join the church. Of course, it is better than Muslims actually bombing you ... barely.
Fort Deseret located in Millard County, Utah 1865
Fort Deseret serves as a landmark of Mormon pioneer history and is the only remaining example of the many adobe forts built in Utah. It was built in 1865 during the Black Hawk War.

USA Through Film: Director Andy Tennant's Atlanta, Georgia
Director Andy Tennant (Sweet Home Alabama, Hitch, Anna and the King) found everything he was looking for in southern Atlanta. “Atlanta is a great thriving metropolis. It’s got great art, great museums, all the things you would expect in a big city, but it has its own personality because of its history.” It also fuels his creativity. “When I need to be a grown up and write a movie, I go back to Atlanta.”
This is part of our series of two-minute films about the country’s most magical locations. Seen through the eyes of 12 film directors, we hear their personal stories in their favorite landscapes and cities. We celebrate the USA as film’s greatest backdrop and via our film directors we gain unique insights into these extraordinary places.
