Pathfinders, trappers, and explorers followed well-worn Indian trails throughout the Utah Territory. In May 1825, Peter Skeene Ogden of the Hudson’s Bay Company led a party of trappers south from Cache Valley . . . and in seven days the party took 585 beaver pelts in New Hole (Ogden Valley) and followed a trail south to the Weber River. After a skirmish with some American trappers at Mountain Green, Ogden retraced his steps north, never descending into the lower Valley (Ogden). There were Mountain Men such as Smith, Fitzpatrick, Weber, Sublette, Bridger, Russell, Clayman, and Goodyear. In 1843 John C. Fremont and his expedition traveled south on an Indian trail from Fort Hall. Arriving at the Weber River, they launched a boat and visited the island in the Great Salt Lake, which now bears his name. He left the Dee ae south of Evanston and descended th ar River south of Evanston until he “Bound an Indian lodge trail going west. “We soon arrived at the headwaters of Plumber (Lost) Creek, a tributary of the Weber.” The party took a trail west and visited Brownsville, now called Ogden. Later, while encamped on the west side of Promontory Mountain, _ Captain Stansbury noticed indications of the areas having been inundated at some remote time by a “vast inland sea.” Stansbury thus became the first person to record the existence of ancient Lake Bonneville. Five Indian lodge trails radiated from Ogden Valley long before the arrival of the ite men. The first ascended North Ogden Creek to North Ogden Pass, veered to the north as it descended into the Valley. The second crossed the divide north of Liberty and descended the South Fork of the Little Bear River to Cache Valley. The third went east up South Fork, mountain between Cold Water and Warm Water Creek, continued west above the cliffs, and emerged from the canyon near 21st (24th) street [in Ogden]. All of these trails joined other migratory trails. Brigham Young learned much about the geography of the region near the Great Salt Lake from the writing of a few of the Mountain Men and from interviews with authors soon after the arrival of the first company of Mormon Pioneers in the valley in July 1847. Brigham Young sent exploring parties north and south along the Indian trails west of the Wasatch Mountains to locate places for settlements. One of these parties contacted Miles Goodyear at Fort Bonaventura. Another group went up Weber Canyon and took trail number four to Ogden’s Hole (Ogden Valley), and then trail number three up South Fork on their way to w o 2 Indian bands of the Shoshone tribe were located through Northern Utah, Southern Idaho, and Western Wyoming long before the advent of the white man. Northern Utah was inhabited by hunting and berry, pinenut, root gathering bands of Northwest Shoshones and some Ute Indians. The Indians wandered from area to area on a Historical Photo ascended the Skin Toe Trail (north side of the canyon) between Causey Creek and the South Fork, crossed Lost Creek on its way to Bear River north of Evansto Trail number four w ip Hawkins Creek south of Huntsville over the low hills and connected with a trail on the Weber River at Mountain Green. Trail number five went west down In 1854 Brigham Young sent an expedition over trail number one to find a shorter route to Fort Bridger for the settlers near Ogden so that they would not need to go via Salt Lake City. This expedition took the first wagon into the Valley (Ogden’s Hole). Charles F. Middleton wrote: “The first wagon was taken into the Valley by the hands of man; no mule or oxen hauled that vehicle. I steered the wagon. The wheels were locked to prevent its breaking loose and dashing down the steep incline.” In 1856 Ogden Hole became a summer grazing area for cattle. The next year the first herd houses were built where Eden is located. The First permanent settlers arrived in 1858 and located near the herd ouses. Huntsville and Liberty were settled soon thereafter. A toll road through Ogden Canyon constructed by Lorin Farr and Isaac Goodale subsequently became the main route into Ogden Valley. > Note: This information can be found on the Pioneer and Jefferson Hunt Chapters Sons of Utah Pioneers Marker found on the top of the North Ogden Divide. The information was provided by William W. Terry and Gilbert Wallace. Each summer for a number of years, Indian bands passed through the Valley over old trails on their way to visit the Valley and over these trails on their way to and from their hunting grounds. The were not hostile for they had learned that they could get more food by bartering with leather goods and by the settlers being made aware of their needs than by fighting.
