Burgertory

 Burgertory is a small, locally owned horror themed burger joint. It features horror themed décor, and horror themed burgers. Because I am a spooky kid, I have been wanting to check them out for a minute. This, really kind of falls outside of my normal blog theme for the most part but it is spooky, and different enough that I thought I would do a quick-un on it.

The horror themed burgers feature amazing gems including: The Double Creature Feature, The Van Helsing, The Exorswiss & Mushrooms, American Werewolf and Mushrooms, Baconsteins Monster, The Hellraiser, The Pastromityville Horror, and of course a regular Burgertory Classic. I love me some good puns! Food and horror puns kill me. All burgers come with stake frights, with upgrade options.

These pictures are most from January 2024, and a couple from January 2026, so technically this an archive post. But I thought this would be a great way to start October!

The Adventure:

It is in a small strip mall.

Closer, from another attempt, when it was closed unfortunately early this year.

Even closer again, early this year.

The front counter. The menu is surrounded by horror movie memorabilia. This is absolutely my kind of place!

Aside from their usual horror themed burgers, the specials today are the “Attack of the Killer Meatball Sandwich and the Organ Trail”. Haha yay!

Hah.

The small dining area.

I love all the horror movie posters and memorabilia. It’s kind of like a TGI Fridays, for spooky people.

The horror theme continued into the single occupancy restroom.

I absolutely adore this sign! But, Michael Myers is my favorite.

The dining area again.

Front counter again.

I bought one of the neat Michael Myers scrolls, because, again, my favorite.

It was a good burger, the frights were awesome too. I love the theme, and of course, I love supporting local. So, triple win for me today. There were a couple minor meh moments, but I attribute that to just a new owner figuring it all out. I would definitely come back. 9 out of 10 squirrels.

As for difficulty, get out and see, DR1

Dogs are not allowed in restaurants, so be sure to leave Fido home for your spooky dinner.

Fall Drive: Trappers Loop

 Trappers Loop road, AKA State Route 167 is a beautiful little drive in Weber and Morgan Counties. It is particularly scenic this time of year as the mountains explode with color. We've done it before, but hey, it's pretty.

Today, didn’t quite end up how I had anticipated it to, but it was one of those days where we kind of just went with the flow, and I’m not even mad about it.

Note: This will be a stub article of mostly Passenger Seat Photography (PSP) shots, with links to the extra adventures we did.

Quick Details:

Length: Trappers Loop Road is about 9 miles one way. Plus however you get there.
Time Needed: For just the drive, probably about an hour. More if you have activities planned.
Road Conditions: 2 lane highway with several passing lanes.
Summit: About 6000 feet.
Restrooms: Gas stations on either end.
Interesting Things: Pineview Reservoir, Several hikes including Green Pond, Wheeler Creek East Fork, Wheeler Creek Middle Fork, Etc.

From SLC: Take i15 to HW89 in Farmington, take that to i84 (weber Canyon). Take the exit for SR167.

I love that HW89 is now a freeway with graded intersections from Farmington to Weber Canyon (PSP). It makes traveling through here so much easier.

Color on the hills (PSP).

Weber Canyon (PSP). The burn scar from the Broad Fire doesn’t seem so bad, considering.

Heading into Weber Canyon (PSP).

The burn scar again (PSP).

Then we got stuck in some construction traffic (PSP). Oi. I guess it wasn’t too bad, considering.

The Utah Power & Light Co; Weber Station (PSP). UP&L was acquired by PacifiCorp in 1989.

Train tunnel (PSP).

The Weber River and the traffic jam (PSP).

Some muted color (PSP).

Some peak in the distance (PSP). It has some good color.

We originally planned to continue around the north side of the Pineview, but due to the fact that we were running out of light, we decided to head back around the south arm to head down Ogden Canyon (PSP).
