🌲 Markets, Mountains & Memorial Day Weekends in Ogden Valley

There’s just something about late May in Northern Utah. The snow finally starts retreating into the high country, paddle boards come back out of garages, RVs start heading for the mountains, and Historic 25th Street in Ogden comes alive again. Summer season is officially knocking on the door. ☀️

One of the biggest signs that summer has arrived? The return of the beloved Ogden Farmers Market.

The 2026 summer market officially kicks off Saturday, May 23rd, running every Saturday morning on Historic 25th Street through September. Thousands of people gather downtown each week to shop local produce, fresh baked goods, handmade crafts, food trucks, live music, flowers, and just soak in one of the best community atmospheres anywhere in Northern Utah.

If you’ve never been, it honestly feels more like a festival than a market. Coffee in hand, dogs everywhere, music echoing down the street, kids dancing, artists selling their work, and people packed onto patios before 10 AM. It’s one of those Ogden traditions that makes you remember why people love living here.

Historic 25th Street has continued gaining momentum over the past few years as more restaurants, events, and small businesses continue investing in downtown Ogden. The Farmers Market has become one of the biggest weekly community events in the entire area.

And honestly… after a long winter, we’re ready for it. 🌿

🏔️ Neighborhood of the Week — Sunridge

If you’re looking for the complete opposite of busy city life, Sunridge might be one of the best hidden mountain communities in Utah.

Tucked deep in the forests above Huntsville, Sunridge is a private gated mountain community known for heavily wooded lots, incredible wildlife, peaceful seclusion, and true backcountry mountain living. Most properties sit on 2–5 acre parcels, giving owners privacy, space, and room to build the kind of mountain getaway people dream about.

At the heart of the community is Moose Lake, a small private reservoir where owners spend summers paddle boarding, fishing, relaxing by the water, and escaping the heat down in the valley. 🛶🐟

Sunridge is also a huge recreational hub year-round:

• ATV and hiking trails throughout the mountains

• Incredible wildlife viewing

• Camping and cabin living

• Snowmobiling paradise in winter

• Off-grid adventure feel while still being accessible from Huntsville

Winter access becomes part of the adventure itself, with many owners accessing cabins by snowmobile or snowcat once the snow piles up. For the right buyer, that’s exactly the appeal.

This is mountain living in its purest form.

🌲 Listing of the Week — 7565 N Jim Bridge Dr, Huntsville, UT 84317

Click^^^

This week’s featured property is an absolute recreational dream property tucked away in Sunridge Highlands.

Located at 7565 N Jim Bridge Dr, this heavily wooded and fully usable mountain lot is already set up for immediate camping and RV enjoyment while also offering a future cabin build site higher up on the property.

Some of the standout features include:

• 3 RV spots with water and septic hookups

• Additional RV parking near the entrance

• Large loop driveway around the property

• Road cleared to the top for a future cabin build

• Installed septic system

• 12x12 storage shed

• Massive cleared upper build site

• Tons of mature trees for hammocks and shaded summer camping

• Excellent snowmobile access in winter

• Access to private trout-stocked Moose Lake 🎣

What makes this property especially unique is that it already feels functional and ready to use today, while still offering long-term cabin potential later on. That combination is getting harder and harder to find in mountain recreational properties.

Whether someone wants a summer RV escape, hunting basecamp, future family cabin, or simply a private mountain retreat to unplug from the world for a while… this one checks a lot of boxes.

And yes — the stars up there are ridiculous. ✨

⚡ Northern Utah Data Center Updates

One of the bigger ongoing conversations around Northern Utah continues to be the proposed hyperscale AI data center developments being discussed across the region.

Supporters point toward future economic growth, infrastructure investment, and tech expansion, while others have raised concerns surrounding water usage, wildlife impact, power demand, and preserving open space. Community conversations and local activism around these projects have continued growing over the past few weeks.

It’ll definitely be something worth watching closely through the rest of 2026 as more details emerge.

☀️ Final Thoughts

Between the Farmers Market returning, boating season around the corner, mountain properties opening back up, and long warm evenings finally arriving again… this is one of the best times of year to live in Northern Utah.

If you’ve been thinking about recreational property, cabin land, or finding your own mountain escape before summer really kicks off, now is the time people start making moves.

And if you end up at the Farmers Market next Saturday… get there early. The bakery lines get dangerous fast. 🥐😂
