Little Cottonwood Canyon Scenic Byway

Named Little Cottonwood Canyon because it's length and width are smaller than its big brother to the north (Big Cottonwood Canyon). Visitors will be awestruck by the sheer ruggedness and beauty of the glacially carved corridor. Little Cottonwood Canyon also leads to two, four-season resorts.
