Green Canyon Trail Guide

Green Canyon
The Green Canyon trail is a favorite of the Logan locals. It starts right on the edge of town, in the next canyon north of Logan Canyon. The trail is smooth singletrack, except for 1/4 mile where you follow the dirt road (as of 2009). It's 4 miles and 1100 vertical feet to the spot where most riders turn around. If you want to push to the Mt Naomi Wilderness border, it will be 5.7 miles each way with 1800 feet of climbing. The trail starts at 5100 feet elevation, so it clears of snow fairly early in the year.

Getting there: In Logan, turn east at 400 North on US-89 (toward Logan Canyon). At 1200 East, turn left and drive north to 1900 North. Turn right toward the mountains. As 1900 North climbs over a small rise, pass the Bonneville Shoreline trail on your right. The lower parking area will be on your left. (Note: it's not clear if bicycles are allowed on the singletrack between the lower and upper parking areas.) 0.6 miles later, turn right into the Green Canyon parking. The trail begins uphill at the end of the parking zone, near the toilet.
