Over the past few weeks, a number of new dining options have become available in the Valley.  Combined with those establishments already open, the options are significantly improving.

The always popular Pizza and Pints, on Thursday evenings at the Bower Lodge, is again operating.  No longer a buffet, friendly and efficient wait staff serve the same delicious pizzas, wings, salads, etc,. to your outdoor table, or well-spaced indoor seating.  Reservations are suggested.

The coffee bar at the Bower Lodge is serving brunch Thursday thru Sunday, 8a.m -2 p.m., and the Sky Lodge at Powder Mountain is once again hosting the intimate, community dinner series Toast to Trails that always seem to sell out.  On Wednesday and Friday evenings, 6-8 p.m.-there is now more of a picnic format on the large deck, but with the same renowned, spectacular views of the Wasatch range and Great Salt Lake at sunset.  Beer and wine are available.  Reservations are a must.

The outdoor grill at Wold Creek golf course is now serving a limited menu until 8 p.m.

The Saddlebag Saloon is not only open for food service and beer, but they are once again featuring a quality lineup of live music.

i.d.k. Barbecue has recently opened on the square in Huntsville, and early reviews are excellent.  Limited indoor seating, outdoor seating and takeout are all available.  i.d.k. has operated a highly successful, similar barbecue restaurant in Tropic, Utah, just outside Bryce Canyon National Park, since 2014.

As the economy and more businesses have re-opened, there has been a significant increase in the cases of Covid 19 in Utah, and to a lesser extent, in Weber County.  Stay diligent in your efforts to protect your family, friends and yourself, and hopefully we’ll all get through this difficult time sooner rather than later.

I continue to be careful and cautious when I show property.  I always wear a mask, and have masks, gloves and hand sanitizer for anyone who does not when they arrive for a showing.

With Snowbasin and Powder Mountain now open for limited summer activities, there are many recreational opportunities available in the Ogden Valley.  

Snowbasin and Powder Mountain are open for hiking, biking, and limited food and beverage service.  Both resorts are working diligently to provide the safest environment possible in this summer of Covid…while allowing folks to get back out responsibly and pursue their favorite warm weather recreational activities.

Wolf Creek golf course is open, Pineview Reservoir is teeming with boaters, paddle boarders, and folks fishing, as is Causey Reservoir.  Tennis courts and pickle ball courts are available, and restaurants are offering outdoor seating.  Musicians are beginning to play in outdoor settings.  The Ogden Valley is a good place to be right now.  Hopefully we can keep it that way.
