I grew up in So. Idaho and moved to Logan to go to college and then moved down to Provo for graduate school. Logan does provide a ton of outdoor possibilities, as does most of the towns along the "Wasatch Front" (Brigham City in the north down to Provo in the south).
I've lived about 4 1/2 years in Logan and Provo. My oldest is in 2nd grade and my wife and I have been pleased with the schools in Provo. I must say however that my heart is in Cache Valley (Logan). My wife would agree. We are trying to figure out a way to move back up there in the next couple of years if at all possible. The only down side to Logan is the shopping (according to the wife). The inversions in the winter can get bad as well.
Utah Valley (Provo area) is extremely family friendly with lots of cheap/free activities. There is always something going on that the kids want to do.
Best of luck in your decision! Try [url "http://www.homefair.com"]www.homefair.com[/url] for some cool tools in deciding where to live. They have free city reports where you can compare cities in lots of different arenas, e.g., crime rate, student/teacher ratios, etc.
