Great page. I've never been in this area, but all the great photos and information on this page sure make me want to go check it out. Thanks for posting.
Thanks Dave, you should check out this area if you get the chance. I didn't see very many people hiking or climbing in these mountains. Like most of Idaho, some of the roads require a high clearance 4-WD vehicle to get very far.
I have been wondering when this page would get put up. I have been in these mountains a couple times and always wish I could return. Its just so far from home. Thanks for the effort.
Thank you, saintgrizzly! The names Magog and Gog come from the Bible. Both of them have an interesting history. They were often associated with a prophecy of the apocalypse.
where you can find lots of Gog, only they must be buried underground there:
Ezek 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.
Our 1st and 2nd Hamongog (Hebrew for the multiple of Gog) are meadows on a classic South route to Lone Peak which hasn't been described at SP yet.
As you can tell, I really like your page on the Bear River Range. I live here so it's fun to see and read about. Your photo are very beautiful and I hope you like the ones I've attached on your page! Keep up the great work!
Thanks, I appreciate it! I am an hour south of the Bear River Range but I have family that lives near every city that surrounds the range. Thanks for attaching your photos. The page is still growing and should be more complete by the end of this year.
Thanks! The Bear River Range recieves a lot of snow and precipitation compared to other ranges in Southern Idaho and Northern Utah. That's why there are so many lakes, rivers, and streams. I guess that's what makes this mountain range so different.
Thank you! I like receiving comments from people who been to the places I have written about. This is a great area so I tried to make a good page for it. Some of the people who live in Logan are unaware of the great mountain range that they live by.
Thank you very much! Many of the mountains in the Bear River Range are not climbed often. I really like this area so I spent extra time writing a page for it.

Most Complete...useful and definitive "Area/Range" page I have seen.

Re: Most Complete...Thanks for your vote! This is the least climbed area of the Wasatch Range considering that most Utah SPers live near Salt Lake City.

Very nice......page! Good job on both photos AND writing! Thanks for taking the time on this one!
(Question: "Magog," and "Gog" are interesting names--do you know the source?)

There're 2 more places in Central-South Wasatchwhere you can find lots of Gog, only they must be buried underground there:
Ezek 39:11 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will give unto Gog a place there of graves in Israel, the valley of the passengers on the east of the sea: and it shall stop the noses of the passengers: and there shall they bury Gog and all his multitude: and they shall call it The valley of Hamongog.

More Gogs and Magogs :)I almost forgot about the Hamongogs. They are also biblical names. Everyone who climbs up the South Face of Lone Peak hikes by them.
Here are my choices. They are located near Mount Assiniboine in the Canadian Rockies.
This is Lake Magog and Gog Lake.

Nice Addition!I like how you've added a section about all the lakes in the Bear River Range! It's a great idea!
