"RAINBOW GARDENS THROUGHOUT THE YEARS"

    Situated at the mouth of the magnificent Ogden Canyon, just below Rainbow Falls, the Rainbow Gardens location and its thermal springs were venerated by the Native American tribes long before the first fur trappers or pioneers came into Ogden Valley.

  In 1895, the first formal building commenced on what would become the Ogden Canyon Sanitarium and Resort.  The establishment featured private mineral baths, hotel and dining rooms, and a dance hall.  Finally completed in 1906, the large wooden Victorian structure burned to the ground in 1927.
