We love to write about Utah’s small towns, and this is one of our favorites. Huntsville is tucked away in the Ogden Valley, surrounded by beauty. It also has tons of recreation opportunities, so it’s perfect for a summer day trip.
Huntsville is a small community of around 600 people. It’s located in the Ogden Valley.
