Logan Canyon Scenic Byway
Lady Bird Overlook, UT

Located next to the Logan Ranger District Office, the Lady Bird Park Overlook provides visitors with a panoramic view of Cache Valley, the majestic Wellsville Mountains and the Bear River Mountain Range.

Rustic kiosks have multiple portraits of information. The panels describe points of local and regional interest and tell the story of the "Portraits in Time" that have shaped the byway. For example, one panel is called: "Top Hats and Mountain Tails." This panel tells the story of how the top hat fashion created an industry that supported mountain men who once roamed the canyon trapping beaver.

Visitors can learn more about the geological history of the area. The shoreline levels of ancient Lake Bonneville (a left-behind lake from the receding Pacific Ocean) can be clearly seen from Lady Bird Park Overlook. This lake reached its highest point about 16,000 years ago, when the lake covered most of western Utah. Thousands of years ago, the Lady Bird Overlook Park would have been more than 300 feet below the water of Lake Bonneville!
