evening hike-ogden christmas tree hike - December 7, 2026

For many years, the beautiful and magically decorated Christmas Tree appears on the hills along the BST in Ogden right around Thanksgiving and remains up until the New Year. It's a special holiday tradition that many people look forward to visiting every year. If you're from Ogden, you (probably) know exactly what we're talking about. We would love to encourage you to take your families up to the tree and experience it. Please take a garbage bag with you and collect any and all of the debris that you find along the way and please refrain from adding to the tree or trees. No glass or otherwise breakable ornaments should be added to the tree. As the ornaments get knocked off, from wind, animals or otherwise, they fall to the ground breaking, sending glass and sharp shards onto the trail and grass areas near the tree. Paper is equally as bothersome as it doesn't tend to stay on the tree and also takes flight. Spread the cheer this holiday season while still Leaving No Trace along the hills. Takes about 30 to 40 minutes from 27th Street Trail Head.
