What a Beautiful Place!
Sunset on the Bear River Range
Oxford Peak, the northwest border of Cache Valley.
Bear River Range foothills near Franklin, Idaho.Cache Valley is split in half by the Idaho/Utah border and both sides offer great opportunities for outdoor recreation. It is hemmed in by mountains on every side and is generally rural in nature and heavily agricultural. The largest city in the valley is Logan, Utah (Pop.40,000+-) which is home to Utah State University. The largest city on the Idaho side is Preston, Idaho (Pop. 4,682). I'm from Preston so you can tell where my loyalties lie.
The Bear River Range forms the entire eastern border of the valley and with the Wellsville and Bannock Ranges forming the western boundary. The Wellsvilles are entirely in Utah and the Bannock Range is entirely in Idaho.
Cache Valley is also fortunate to have two wonderful wilderness areas close at hand. The Mt. Naomi Wilderness area encompasses the highest mountains of the Bear River Range with Mt. Naomi (9979) being the highest. The Wellsville Mounatin Wilderness to the southwest takes in the entire Wellsville Range.
I've broken this up into the following sections. For more comprehensive information see the ranges' individual SP sites. I'm only putting a little information and leaving the rest to the photos.
