A large rural mountain valley in northern Utah, the Cache Valley is one of Utah’s top agricultural areas, providing land for cattle, milk and cheese production, and the growing of wheat, barley and hay. The valley is located between to the Wellsville Mountains to the west and the Bear River Mountains to the east. Both ranges are part of the larger Wasatch Mountain Range that dominates northern Utah.
The Cache Valley gets its name, from the fact that early fur trappers created caches in the valley to protect and hide their goods from thieves.
