Located about 15 minutes from Downtown Salt Lake City and 25 minutes from the Salt Lake International Airport,Big Cottonwood Canyon was the first of the Wasatch Front Canyons to be discovered by vacationers and visitors. Nonetheless it has remained the least developed of the Canyons and has maintained much of its original charm and personality. Even Solitude Resort, the canyon’s largest commercial development is contained within an 18 acre master plan and consciously retains an intimate, if somewhat European, sensibility.
Beyond the Solitude Resort village, Big Cottonwood Canyon contains several distinct neighborhoods, click on the neighborhood links to learn a little more about each one.
