Ogden: Mixing Mountain Beauty with a Metropolitan Atmosphere
Since its founding more than 170 years ago, the city of Ogden has built a reputation as a beautiful city that’s full of adventure. While the city has a somewhat wild history – Al Capone himself once noted that Ogden was a bit too much, even for him – modern Ogden has grown into an area so popular that in 2013 it was rated as the #16 Best Place for Business and Careers by Forbes. The area is perfect for those that love the outdoors, with three world-class ski resorts within a short distance from the city and access to more than 10,000 acres of nearby freshwater lakes.
