Ogden can be a nice little place, there are a lot of nice people and some parts of the city are well kept and nice. But for the most part I would say that Ogden is an impoverished town, and there are a lot of places I would not want to be walking by myself after dark. East Ogden, North Ogden and South Ogden are all very nice, however downtown Ogden and West Ogden are quite ghetto.
There are still a lot of good things about the town, it is driving distance from some really awesome ski resorts like Powder Mountain and Snow Basin. The boarding is awesome! And in the summer there are a lot of fun things to do as well from hiking along any of the many trails, to boating up at Pineview reservoir, to fishing or cliff jumping up at Causey dam. Plus the drive to Salt Lake City only takes about 30 minutes, and there are plenty of fun things to do there at night. Overall I would say that Ogden is worth visiting because most places are, if even just to experience something different. But I would not want to live here, I am actually wanting to move away. Mostly because the winter lasts too long. The snow is great it just lasts too long :) The rest of the year is just gorgeous though, right now it’s spring and so everything is alive, and the mountainside is bursting with color. So, it is a beautiful place and worth visiting for sure!!
