Another is a ride around Farmington Bay Bird Refuge. The ride can start at the Davis County Courthouse (State and Main) in Farmington. Riders can then head west to the edge of Farmington Bay Bird Refuge and then on to the refuge. Great wildlife viewing opportunities abound.

Another option would be to start at the Weather Bureau building east of the airport ride west along the airport bike path, and then connect to the frontage road that parallels I-80 to the Great Salt Lake (25 miles round trip). Again, the road is flat with not much traffic.

Tubing: Two areas offer lift-served tubing: Gorgoza Park (800-678-9915), just east of Parleys Summit, and Soldier Hollow Park (435-654-2002), west of Heber and site of the 2002 Olympic Nordic events. This is the final weekend for tubing and cross-country skiing at Soldier Hollow.

Heber: Besides tubing at Soldier Hollow, a short distance away is the Homestead, which offers swimming in pools but also in the famed crater, where water temperatures remain consistent and comfortable, even in the winter. There will be a traditional Easter egg hunt and a visit from the Easter bunny, along with the resort's famous brunch on Sunday (435-654-1102).

Antelope Island: The island is a great place to visit and either hike about or view wildlife. More than 700 buffalo roam the island, and it's not difficult to spot one of the shaggy animals wandering about. On Saturday an organized bird walk will be held along the Mountain View trail at 2 p.m. On Sunday a bird-watching walk around the Fielding Garr Ranch will start at 2 p.m. Both will be led by park naturalists. Those joining the walks should have sturdy shoes, water, binoculars and a snack. Call 810-721-9569.

Ogden: The annual Easter Rendezvous at Fort Buenaventura is scheduled for Friday, Saturday and Sunday. The event is a re-enactment of the spring gathering of mountain men at this site between 1825 and 1840. Trappers met to trade pelts and buy supplies. Part of the event will be a trader's row, which will feature pre-1840 goods. Members of the Free Mountain Trappers will be in authentic period dress. There will also be a Dutch oven cook-off, canoe races, shooting contests and how-to workshops. The park offers walking trails, pond for canoeing and fishing, a black-powder shooting range, a trading post and camping facilities. Admission is $3 per person.

The Golden Spike National Historic Site, located west of Brigham City at Promontory, features railroad memorabilia and replicas of historic steam engines, as well as information about the meeting of the rails from east to west, which took place at this site.
