Cutler Basin Trail is one of the more difficult hikes in the Ogden area. The trail is a steep climb for 3.0 miles and joins the Ben Lomond Trail just south of Culter Springs. The vertical ascent is 2,300 feet and rocky. Near the junction of the Ben Lomond Trail is a side trail that goes west to Cutler Spring. Cutler Basin is a high mountain basin formed by Ben Lomond and Willard Peaks. Hikers can return on Ben Lomond Trail or hike up to Ben Lomond Peak. Allow a full day for the hike. Wear sturdy shoes and bring water and a lunch.

Directions: To reach Cutler Basin Trail from Ogden, travel north on Highway 203 to Highway 39. Turn right on Highway 39 and follow it for 6 miles. Turn left on Highway 158 and follow it for 4.3 miles to Highway 162. Turn left on 162 and follow it for 3 miles to Liberty. Travel north from Liberty and follow signs to Weber County North Fork Park, Picnic and Camp Area. Drive north instead of turning left toward North Fork Park. After passing Camp Lomond stay straight when a dirt road turns right and uphill. Follow signs for "Cutler Flat Campground". Drive through the campground's recreation field to its north side. Turn right then immediately left just before the East Bowery Area.

Don't confuse it with the Ben Lomond Trail which begins at the horse corrals. The Cutler Basin Trail is more northerly of the two. The trailhead is on County property at a dirt cul-de-sac near the red steel gate. National Forest System lands begin beyond the gate.
