Big Cottonwood Canyon Utah
Although Big Cottonwood Canyon, Utah, is located just half an hour away from the main airport in Salt Lake City, it is by and large a hidden retreat. Home to the Solitude mountain ski resort, Big Cottonwood Canyon receives over 500 inches of powder snow a year and provides untold wonders, terrific shopping, and seclusion from the hustle and bustle of city life to all its visitors and residents. All told, you can find more than 1,200 acres of slopes, runs and chutes in the Solitude area. During the spring and summer, you can take the mountain resort's chairlift up for a picnic and/or play a surprisingly delightful but challenging 18-hole golf course. Other summer activities include wild life sighting and bird watching. Prior to the mid-19th century, Big Cottonwood Canyon was geographically isolated from human settlement. Native Americans did not set up permanent settlements there prior to 1847. After logging and deforestation wreaked havoc on the area, much of the natural splendor was lost. Fortunately, Solitude Ski Resort and a number of other wilderness aficionados replanted the towering timbers and helped Big Cottonwood Canyon once again become the splendid ski retreat we know and love today.
