A portion of the Wheeler Creek Trail will be closed Monday through Friday beginning Monday, September 9th through December 1st, 2019.

All recreational activity will need to use alternative routes during the weekdays, as access will be closed below the trailhead near I-39 and the Ice Box Canyon Junction.

The trail parallels Wheeler Creek and is a great summer afternoon ride since it runs North – South. As a result this trail is mostly shady in the later afternoon. Coupled with the running water and slightly higher elevation, this trail is typically a good 10 or more degrees cooler than Ogden city. This makes this a popular trail with the locals.
From this trail you get a great view of Snowbasin as well as the famous “Z-Fold” rock formation in Ogden Canyon. There are some homes near the trailhead, so please be respectful and stay on the trail.
