Logan, Utah SperlingViews

I moved here to attend Utah State University and ended up staying. I am originally from central NYS. I felt at home in Logan as soon as I arrived because it has a small town feel (even though it was and is much larger than my hometown). I am not a skier but life here would be more satisfying in the winter if I were. There are amazing outdoor recreation opportunities of all kinds here; rock climbing, kayaking, hiking, hunting, fishing, biking, etc.
I have learned to love hiking here. There are a number of trails that vary in length and intensity. Some are disability-friendly. They also have a dog park (new and improving).
Logan is a very conservative community with a growing diverse population. A large number of individuals that move here are from South America. I appreciate the diversity they bring, but not everyone here does which is hard.
There is much to say about Logan. There is constant construction going on. Too many townhouses however! It has been said that Logan is one of the cities that has fared the best in this economic recession.
TONS of young families with children. Cultural and education opportunities galore. A great place to live for families. Unfortunately, I am single and my family is back East. It can get pretty lonely for folks like me despite all of the beauty of the land and amenities. I am trying to move back East so I too can enjoy my family. :)
