Good scares abound at the Green
Canyon Farms corn maze
By Stephanie

November 3, 2008 | I was lost and scared to death.
I hid in the corn . . . waiting for the chainsaw man
to finally creep past me so I could quickly get away
without having to hear that dreaded chainsaw get fired
up again. He slowly stopped right in front of me as
if he could sense someone was near. I crouched down
further in anticipation and suddenly a quiet giggle
escaped my mouth.
As I reached up to cover my mouth, he saw me and here
he came! He lifted his chainsaw in the air; I screamed
and then burst into laughter as I sprinted out of his
sight, quickly hiding behind another row of corn waiting
for my friends to pass the dreaded chainsaw man and
join me.
This is the experience you will get to enjoy when
you attend the Green Canyon Farms haunted corn maze
in North Logan. Personally, I think corn mazes are amazing.
My adrenaline was at an all time high and I could have
competed with Olympic runners that night. The thrill
of being horribly scared without actually being in danger
is one that is worth the five dollar payment to get
in. Plus, if you are anything like me, you will get
a LOT of exercise as you sprint from row to row, hoping
to avoid scary people as much as possible.
I also enjoy the feeling of being completely lost.
It was quite strange to me that I could be five miles
from my home, but completely confused as to what direction
I should even be going. The corn towered over me and
even when using a map, it was near impossible to find
a way out. I spent one hour and 45 minutes in the maze,
and a third of that time was spent getting away from
chainsaw men and the many other creepy people that roamed
the maze.
It's not very often one can go out and enjoy nature,
but in a corn maze you have plenty of time to enjoy
the crisp autumn evening. The smell of the corn, the
lack of light pollution, the stars shining brightly
above, and a hot chocolate to sip afterwards is an irreplaceable
experience. It's a great activity that everyone can
enjoy, no matter your age.
The Green Canyon Farms corn maze is the largest maze
in Cache Valley. It covers 13 acres and has a unique
design each year.
Corn mazes are a lot of fun. It's one of those things
you should try at least once in your lifetime. Believe
me, you won't regret it. Green Canyon Corn Maze is located
at 2850 N. 100 East in Logan (next to the Ice Arena).
It costs $6 for adults, $5 for students, and children
3-11 cost $4. It's open Monday through Thursday from
5 to 11 p.m., Friday from 5 p.m. to midnight and Saturday
from noon to midnight.
