Outdoor Adventure and Cultural Center

Over the past couple of decades Ogden has done a wonderful of reinventing itself, and it is now considered to be one of the great outdoor adventure destinations in the west.

The first settled community in the state of Utah (1846), Ogden Utah became an important railway hub and, with travelers coming through from far and wide, the city became known as a very wild and rough destination. However, over the years that image has mellowed slightly but Ogden is now known for world-class outdoor adventure, downtown culture, great food and entertainment.
