The Cottonwoods

To the east of Salt Lake City are several canyons.  Two, Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood, are home to world-class ski areas.  Little Cottonwood is home to the rustic Alta, and the swanky Snowbird ski areas.  Big Cottonwood is home to the rustic Brighton, and the posh Solitude ski areas.  Camping, hiking and rock climbing are attractions to both canyons.  The next two posts are written about both canyons.
