Welcome!
Cache Valley is Utah’s hidden treasure. It’s a land of dairy
farms, small towns, stunning mountains, modest cities, friendly
people, higher education and internationally renowned live arts
performances.
Come discover your own adventure. There’s so much to do.
Our majestic mountains provide outstanding all-season outdoor
recreation. Utah State University generates intellectual stimulus
and the fervor of major college athletics. The American West
Heritage Center lets you step back in time with costumed
interpreters in 160 acres of living history. The stage of the
Utah Festival Opera and Musical Theatre glows with worldclass performances. There are numerous dining, lodging and
shopping offerings. The qualities of the Valley are at the same
time unique and familiar, natural and exceptional.
Come, let us show you what we mean—
what we treasure.
Pronounced “ cash ”
Cache Valley was named by fur trappers who stored
their beaver pelts in the area. The word cache is
French and means to hide or store one’s treasures.

center of artistic activity. Ellen Eccles Theatre Presents provides

LO GAN LDS (MORMON) TEMPLE
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints Temple is an
easily visible icon of the Cache Valley landscape. The edifice
was built from 1877-1884 by the donated labor and materials of
early pioneers. The modified Gothic building rests on a terrace
of the ancient Lake Bonneville and the exterior was built out
of limestone and sandstone quarried locally. The beautifully
manicured grounds are open to the public, but access to the
Temple is reserved for Church members only.

GHOST TOWN
Drive north through Cache Valley’s beautiful pastoral landscapes
and into Idaho on the Pioneer Historic Byway. You’ll visit
Franklin, the oldest town in Idaho; Preston, home of Napoleon
Dynamite and location of the tragic Bear River Massacre, where
US soldiers killed more than 400 sleeping Shoshone villagers
in 1863; and on to Soda Springs, a rough and rowdy mining
town whose geothermal activity made it a well-known stop on
the Oregon/California Trail. Swing in to the historic Enders
Hotel and Restaurant with its eclectic museum, and bring a cup
so you can taste the naturally carbonated soda water at Hooper
or Octagon Spring. Twenty-five miles north of Soda Springs is
the ghost town of Chesterfield. Its red brick buildings were built
between 1884 and 1904. Museum and guided tours available in
summer. www.sodaspringsid.com
