to Lagoon Amusement Park, Hill Aerospace Museum and a wide selection of hotels and restaurants. To the north, Ogden is a thriving community
of historic character, founded as the two halves of the transcontinental railway were joined at nearby Promontory in 1869. Historic 25th Street and the Union Station are highlights not to be missed in Ogden. Brigham City has many historic buildings and
is the gateway to one of America's best bird refuges, the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge. Nearby is Golden Spike National Historic Site. Nestled in scenic Cache Valley, Logan was a wilderness gathering-place for early mountain men and fur trappers and, today, is home to the American West Heritage Center and classic examples of early Mormon architecture.
