Lovin’ Logan (8/7/24-8/8/24)

Bob and I left Laramie, Wyoming, on Wednesday to head to Logan, Utah, on our trip west. It was a little shy of about a 6 hour trip.

On the way, we passed the beautiful Bear Lake. Bear Lake is a 109 square mile freshwater lake split almost evenly between the states of Utah and Idaho. We were able to stop at a rest stop to get photos and walk onto one of the beaches.

From Bear Lake, it was another 45 minute drive into Logan, where we are spending 2 nights with friends. We are happy to have a return trip, as we had to leave quickly last year when Bob’s dad unexpectedly passed away. They made us a lovely dinner Wednesday night, and then we had a walk on the path behind and above their house before we turned in.

This morning after coffee, we did a nice walk on the Logan River Trail, one of many paths in Logan.

After our walk, we headed downtown to Le Croissant for breakfast. Highly recommend if you’re in the area, everything from croissants and other baked goods to breakfast sandwiches and lunch salads and sandwiches as well. We left full and happy and ready for a stroll around downtown.

Logan is the county seat of Cache County, Utah. It has a population of about 53,000 and is home to Utah State University. It’s about 82 miles north of Salt Lake City.
