Cache is pronounced “cash” and is a French word that means “to hide or store one’s treasure.” You’ll find plenty of hidden fortune in this high mountain agricultural valley known for outdoor adventures, hands-on heritage experiences, and performing and fine arts. Mountain biking, canoeing, fly fishing, bird watching, hiking, rock climbing, skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and taking a sleigh ride through herds of elk are a few of our outdoors attractions.
Stop in at the American West Heritage Center, a 160-acre living-history museum where you can experience firsthand the history of the Old West. Depending on the day, you’ll visit with Native Americans, mountain men, farmers, and pioneers. They’ll keep you busy living life like they did through games, activities, crafts, food, music, wagon rides, and more. For a true taste of the area you’ll enjoy the Cache Valley Food Tour where you can learn about and sample famous foods made in the area including cheeses, chocolates, coffee, cookies, honey, fruit, ice creams, and pastries.
The city of Logan is the heart of Cache Valley and home to Utah State University, a dozen art galleries and specialty shops, unique restaurants, great examples of early Mormon pioneer architecture, and the stunning 1923 Ellen Eccles Theatre, home of the renowned Utah Festival Opera company and other nationally touring productions. Between Logan and Bear Lake you’ll drive through dramatic mile-high limestone cliffs along the Logan Canyon National Scenic Byway, a 45-minute road trip through forested canopies along the winding Logan River.
Cache Valley is the most scenic route to Yellowstone and Grand Teton National Parks.
