Located 1.5 miles down the Hardware Ranch Road in Logan Canyon you will come to a very large staging area. This is the staging area for the Hodges Canyon ATV trail, but it's also a good place to stage and access several other ATV trails on the north end of the Hardware Ranch Road.
This trail starts off in a large sage brush valley with not much in the way of trees. After you crest the first little hill you began to descend into a canyon. The trail runs down into a narrow valley and along a small stream that you will have to cross several times. There were a few short hills with large rocks, and fallen trees to maneuver around and over, however this is not a difficult trail. Once in the canyon you are surrounded by thick Pines and Aspen forest. The trail is only approx 4 miles long, at the end you will come to a gate that is marked "No Trespassing" on one sign, the other sign says "keep gate closed". Being that this fence line was not clearly marked we decided to turn around and head back to the staging area. If anyone has any information on whether or not you can access this part on the trail we would like to hear from you.
Although the whole canyon in this area is beautiful, I would have to say this is one of the prettiest trails I have accessed. I'm a big fan of thick Aspen trees and they line both sides of this trail. This trail offers fun for everyone, nice flat scenic trail, stream crossings, and a few challenging sections. This is an all around great trail for all riders.
Directions To Trail Head:
The Hardware Ranch Road is located approx 32.8 miles up Logan canyon from Logan Utah and 7.2 miles from Garden City Utah. When you turn off on this road you will be traveling south. Drive 1.5 miles to the staging area and the trail head.
