Just off Highway 89, the Best Western Plus Canyon Pines, South Ogden, Utah, is a comfortable gateway to the Wasatch Mountains, with a deluxe hot breakfast, an indoor heated pool and hot tub, a 24-hour fitness center, a business center with free high-speed Wi-Fi, and spacious rooms with plush bedding, a microwave, a refrigerator, and a work desk.
The setting suits a day chasing powder or hiking the canyons, with a university and a performing-arts center close by. Scenic drives and family attractions fill the surrounding valley.
South Ogden sits against the Wasatch Front just south of Ogden, the old railroad town whose restored Historic 25th Street now brims with cafes, pubs, and shops. Olympic downhill runs at Snowbasin, the trout streams of Ogden Canyon, and the beaches of Pineview Reservoir all lie a short drive east into the mountains, with the lake and amusement-park rides of the valley floor close by.
