Wheeler Creek – Pineview to Art Nord Trail is a rocky but wide double track trail in Ogden Canyon near Ogden and Huntsville in Northern Utah. This trail is a good starting point for many of the Wheeler Creek and Ice Box Canyon trails found in the area.
The trail parallels Wheeler Creek and is a great summer afternoon ride since it runs North – South. As a result this trail is mostly shady in the later afternoon. Coupled with the running water and slightly higher elevation, this trail is typically a good 10 or more degrees cooler than Ogden city. This makes this a popular trail with the locals.
From this trail you get a great view of Snowbasin as well as the famous “Z-Fold” rock formation in Ogden Canyon. There are some homes near the trailhead, so please be respectful and stay on the trail.
