Both sides of Ogden Divide are where to go if you are looking for steep climbing in UT. The west side is a bit longer and I like its views a bit better. Quick descent as well as some traffic.

CLIMB SUMMARY

Cycling North Ogden Divide West

Ride 3 miles gaining 1,301’ at 8.2% average grade.

North Ogden Divide is a high mountain pass in Weber County, Utah, located within the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The summit area features a parking lot and the Indian Trails Monument, and the road is renowned for its spectacular alpine scenery in every season. The pass is also the gateway to the Northern Skyline Trail, a popular route for both cyclists and hikers, with panoramic views of Ben Lomond Peak and the surrounding Wasatch Mountains

Climb summary by PJAMM Ambassador Bruce Hamilton.

The North Ogden Divide West is a short but steep climb, measuring about three miles with an average gradient of 8.2% and a total elevation gain of 1,301 feet, finishing at 6,098 feet. Most of the climb registers double-digit gradients on cycling computers, with a substantial stretch at 12%, making it much tougher than its short distance suggests. The route starts on the outskirts of Ogden and ascends immediately, offering expansive views of the city, the Salt Lake Valley, and even the Great Salt Lake. Summer temperatures can be high, so it’s best to ride early or during cooler seasons, and while the climb isn’t long, reaching the summit is a rewarding challenge.

Thank you Bruce Hamilton and Stacy Topping!!
