More than just a skiing and riding paradise. With seven awesome canyons surrounding Salt Lake City, it's incredibly easy to get into the mountains from anywhere in the valley in a matter of minutes. No other city has such an amazing outdoor playground so close. City Creek, Red Butte, Emigration, Parleys, Millcreek, Big Cottonwood, and Little Cottonwood canyons are all part of the Wasatch Range of the Rocky Mountains, encompassing more than a million acres of national forest and providing unlimited recreation options. Unparalleled scenery and well marked trails make Salt Lake an outstanding destination for Nordic skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobiling, and more.
