The Ogden River descends through Ogden Canyon to meet the Weber River near the eastern shore of the Great Salt Lake. Shoshone people used the land around the lake and Ogden Valley for centuries. In 1825 Peter Skene Ogden led a Hudson's Bay Company trapping party into the valley. Farther up the Weber, his men encountered American trappers in a dispute over access to the beaver country.
