Alta and Little Cottonwood Canyon:
Jewel of the Wasatch
A beautiful hard-cover coffee table book of fine art photography and essays showcasing the natural areas of Alta and Little Cottonwood Canyon.
The extraordinary images and powerful essays of this volume capture the beauty of Little Cottonwood Canyon, critical habitat for flora and fauna and a precious mountain refuge from urban living in nearby Salt Lake City. For over fifty years, this place has been the subject of environmental conflict; the latest danger is a proposal to construct the world’s longest gondola, with 250-foot towers. In Alta and Little Cottonwood Canyon: Jewel of the Wasatch Mountains, a chorus of concerned writers and superb photographers celebrates the immeasurable value of Little Cottonwood, surely inspiring citizens to fight for its protection.
100% of book proceeds support Friends of Alta and their lawsuit to stop the proposed Little Cottonwood Canyon Gondola
“Howie Garder melds together some of the most gorgeous LLC photos ever published with a collection of evocative essays written by a pantheon of diverse, respected, leaders who are all united by their lifetime of love for this most special wild place we call Little Cottonwood Canyon.”
“The Eyes of the Future are looking back at us and they are praying for us to see beyond our own time.”
“Our community doesn’t end in the city but sweeps from desert valley to wildflowered meadow to secret stashes of powder between the firs, connecting pelican and avocet on the Great Salt Lake to pika and moose in Albion Basin. This is our gift, our responsibility, our legacy.”
