The Wind Caves

Wind Caves Trail, Logan, Utah, Hiking in Logan Canyon, Hiking in Utah with dogs

The Wind Caves Trail is located in Logan Canyon about 1.5 hours northeast of SLC. We were looking for something new & different to hike, and I had heard of these caves before from friends. Our plan was to make a day trip of it, and hike this trail and one across the road called The Crimson Trail, which gets you above the China Wall. I also wanted to stop at one of my favorite outdoor sports store, Camp Saver. CampSaver.com is an online gear store, however their physical store is located just before you reach Logan in Nibley, UT. Anything you buy in store gives you an extra 20% discount on everything. Plus, they are super knowledge able and can help you find the perfect gear for any adventure.

Back to The Wind Caves. The Wind Caves are a formation of three arches in the weathered limestone bedrock. Surprisingly, when we were in the caves it wasn't windy, despite it's name. This is a perfect hike for kids and dogs, since the trail is pretty moderate and never too steep. Although there are several switchbacks, the view of Logan Canyon is a great distraction from the workout you'll get. As you climb higher, you also get fantastic views of the China Wall across the canyon, which you can access via the Crimson Trail. Bring plenty of water for you & the dogs since there is little shade.

Head north on I-15. Take exit 362 towards Logan, UT which is HWY 80. This will turn into Main Street in Logan. Turn right on W 400 N (HWY 80 again). Drive 7.4 miles and look for the Wind Caves TH on the left side of the road. The parking lot will fit about 20 cars, and if that is full you can park along the road. There are no restrooms at the TH.

The start of the trail offers an explanation of how the caves were formed, and also gives a little map.

The trail the day we hiked it was half snow, half mud. It's probably better to wait until late March to hike this trail so it dries out. It was still doable, just messy. We never needed to use microspikes.

As we got higher there was more snow. Although it was packed down, it was still messy due to all the mud mixed in.

Before we knew it we were in the Wind Caves! Just about the time we got there it started raining and got cold quickly. We were glad to have the shelter of these caves.
