Description:
The Beus Canyon Trail is probably the best choice for climbing Mt. Ogden from the west side. The trail makes its way up the bottom of the canyon before climbing the ridge to the south. Don't be surprised when high on the ridge you find the trail petering out. The Forest Service and Weber State Recreational Center are working together to improve the trail here. But, in the meantime, follow the rock cairns that will mark the rest of your way to the top.

Trail history:
Beus Canyon Trail is named for the Beus family, Italian immigrants who came as Mormon pioneers. They were the first to use the creek waters for their farm, and they actually got their receipt for their land from Brigham Young.
