Hogsback Ridge

Trail Overview

This fairly steep trail drops off the Swan Flat loop in Logan Canyon down to Fish Haven Canyon. It is 3.5 miles and changes nearly 2,000 feet in elevation. Both ends are fenced off with a 50" gate. The top half mile of the trail plunges through dense pines that block most sunlight, reduce environmental sound, and give it a slightly eerie feeling. The incline grade through this section is challenging while traveling down the trail. Travelers heading up the trail will find it a bit harrowing. The mid-section of the trail winds in and out of the tree line through rocky sections with drops that can be as much as 12". The challenge of picking your line and the frequent vistas of aspen outcroppings along the way provide for a lively and entertaining ride. The bottom mile of the trail, below the gate, is mostly smooth and courses alongside aspen groves.
