Autumn is the perfect time for a little day trip in Utah; the weather is cool and the fall foliage is in full color. If you’re looking for a charming Utah town to visit, consider Logan. It’s just big enough to have plenty to offer, yet still small enough that you can explore a lot of its features during a day trip.
Logan was founded in 1859. Though its population today exceeds 50,000, it’s still a charming, quaint town with a vibrant Main Street.
