Trail Loop, take a trip to Antelope Island, keeping in mind the entrance fee. The Bone Road Trail is also found on Antelope Island, but the Pioneer Trail entrance is located at 2750 North Mountain Road, at the Pioneer Trailhead.

Ogden Pioneer days

Nothing is more Western than an old-fashioned rodeo, and the best rodeo you’ll find in Northern Utah is at Ogden Pioneer Days. The event not only celebrates the founding of Ogden, Utah, but also serves to highlight the local community on the national level. Harman Peery, as many of you know, held high ambitions for this festival; today, more than 30,000 people swing through each year just to get a taste of who we are, where we came from, and what we’re all about! It’s safe to say our old Mayor’s dreams were successful.

There’s nothing like a hometown celebration to foster that Western sense of sprit and pride, and if you live in or anywhwere near Clearfield, attending the Freedom Festival is a MUST! The city kicks off Independence Day early at the annual Paint the Bridge event, with multiple lead-up activities that culminate in the second largest firework show in the state, happening on the Fourth of July. During Freedom Festival there is something for everyone, including scavenger hunts, an outdoor movie, music, swimming parties, a massive parade, and more. Clearfield knows how to throw THE BEST party – and has the awards to prove it! The events have become a favorite for the entire region.
