That was the trail I learned to love ogdens mountains on. Please protect it so my kids can learn to share this love of our land and our nature.
Josh supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!As a member of the Weber State community for 18 years now I have reguraly used the social trail for midday runs, walks, and cross country skiing. I have never had an issue with golfers and have never heard of anyone else having an issue with golfers. Instead I have had wonderful encounters with fellow nature lovers enjoying easy access to the outdoors. Don't let the lawyers scare us out of enjoying our own backyards!
Michele supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!Ogden City is forcing kids on bikes to re-route onto streets. This was the only way for non-technical mountain bikers (mostly kids, families and youth). Now they have to re-route down to the streets to get around Mount Ogden park as the only authorized bike trail is beyond their ability. They state they made this decision for the “safety” of the general public and want us to be “good neighbors” in regards to this decision. Wow, great job Ogden leadership!
Brian supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!My son and grandson have run this trail running cross country for Mt. Ogden Jr. High and Ogden High. I've never heard or seen any golf balls interfere with anything. We love to walk it when we have a picnic with our grandkids. It's just a nice peaceful and beautiful walk.
Rose supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!The trail access through the golf course was a great way to access other trails and get outside. Every time I use the trail I see countless people out enjoying and using the trail through the golf course. Blocking this access will be a negative impact to the community.
Logan supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!If these trails are gone me and my friends will loose a big part of our hearts we love going and riding our bikes here
Asher supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!Me and many of my friends grew up riding/ running these trails, the decision to block them from the public is from those that have forgotten why Ogden is so special. The cut through has never been a problem for me nor anyone using the course. The only place where this even slightly a problem is on hole 15 where the crossing goes through the fairway. When using this people are aware they are on the course and I’ve never once not seen people being careful if/ when they cross. The decision to strip it from the public is off base and out of touch, it is in favor of those that pay and not the public.
Ogden Trail System is one of the few remaining things that has stayed consistent over the years and it would be a shame if this went through. The trails are for the people. Leave it that way.
Jack supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!This is a trail I have used to run since high school. Losing it would be truly tragic and would greatly affect my and many others physical health.
Bailey supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!When a government makes up rules to fix a non-issue and enforces it with fines and a quasi enforcement agency called Ogden trails network then it’s called tyranny.
I am so embarrassed by what is happening regarding the restriction of common tax payers and their ability to cross the golf course in certain contained areas.
I have done a records request through Ogden City for any reports or incidents of someone being hit by a golf ball. Can you guess what I received? Nothing. There have been no reports of such an event. This whole issue has been brought up by one man employed by the city. He has lit a wildfire of unjustified fear mongering concern among the citizens.
There has been an easement created by the 50 plus years of access and use of the citizens even before the course was made. This will be a major legal hurdle for the city to overcome if it continues in this direction. In that same records request I was able to obtain the budgets for both golf courses. While El Monte is in the black, Mount Ogden is hundreds of thousands of dollars in the red. That’s our tax money subsidizing it and now you want to tell those who pay for it to stay off?
Jeff supported: Save the Historic Mt. Ogden Trail — Stop the City from Blocking Public Access!You’re not alone — a community of supporters is ready to back you.
