Hi-
I am taking my girlfriend to Salt Lake City for the first time to meet
my parents. As we will be spending some time in the Wasatch Mountains
east of the Salt Lake Valley, I am hoping to refresh mine and my
girlfriends memories on the names of the major peaks and canyons east
of the Salt Lake Valley. I am searching for either a photograph or an
illustration (may be a fairly simple illustration) that displays the
peaks and canyons east of the Salt Lake Valley AS SEEN FROM THE VALLEY
FLOOR with the major peaks and canyons labeled. Answer should start on
the north extreme around ensign peak, and should continue to the south
past Lone Peak to the vicinity of Corner Canyon.
An acceptable answer will look something like this:
Ensign Peak Grandeur Peak
/| ?? /\
\ / \ /\ / \ /
\/ \----------/ \ / \ -/
Emmigration Cyn \---------/ \/ AND SO ON TO CORNER CYN
Parley's Canyon
I'm sure the forest service or the BLM or somebody has a diagram or
illustration like this but so far I've found nothing online.
Attempted searches:
Google Images Search various combinations of "Wasatch" "Salt Lake"
"name" "peaks" "diagram" "illustration"
Forest Service Web Site.
Utahphotos.com stock photography site.
Some of the geographic features to appear (maybe this will help you):
Emmigration Canyon, Parley's Canyon, Grandeur Peak, Mount Olympus, Big
Cottonwood Canyon, Twin Peaks, Little Cottonwood Canyon, Lone Peak.
Imagine the impression on my very provincial family when my
out-of-town girlfrind casually mixes local geography references in
with conversation! Hope we can find this. Thanks |

Hello xwakawaka-ga,
I haven't found the illustration you're looking for, but I did locate
a comprehensive list of all the Wasatch peaks with links to
photographs of all of them. Would this meet your needs to help you jog
your memory? Thanks.

Hi ~
I am looking out my window trying to remember all the names now, from
Little and Big Cottonwood Canyons, Millcreek, Mt. Olympus, etc., along
Wasatch Blvd ...
I know I have seen a site with all the canyons and peaks listed and I
thought I had it bookmarked. There is one in existance, it's more a
matter of finding it at this point.
I'm looking,
Serenata

I know the labeled peaks and canyons were available during the time of
the Olympics, but I can't find those now.
Perhaps some other Google Answers Researcher can locate such a map.
Good luck,
Serenata

I received a reply to my e-mail to the specialist on hiking in the
Wasatch area. He did not know of a photograph or illustration such as
the one you're looking for. However, he did provide me with a list of
the peaks and canyons as seen from the Salt Lake Valley, going north
to south. He also told me of a publication from the organization he
belong to, which describes most of these canyons and peaks in detail
with photos and diagrams.
Would the list of peaks and canyons, along with information on this
publication, be a sufficient answer?

Thanks everyone for your interest in my question.
I already know the names of most of the peaks and canyons, so a list
will not be helpful. What I need is a visual reference like that
diagramed in the original question.
Thanks

Just to ask on a little point, I assume you prefer a side view or
angled from the sky illustration or picture than a top view map,
right?

As specified and diagrammed in the original question. Yes a side view,
so as to aid in recognition from the Salt Lake Vally floor.
