Utah has two most known canyons. Big and Little cotton canyons which were created by the intensive glacial scenery in the Wasatch Range. Both of these canyons between 20.000 to 10.000 years and years ago, with many of other basins were compiled with hundreds of feet of ice glaciers. Specifically the little cottonwood canyon glacier that went and reached over to extend into Lake Bonneville. These glaciers carried significant amount of rocks which till this day were able to witness as they carved marks on the ground, left gravel and other small rocks on the way as they moved by the ice.
The little cottonwood canyon actually caused to happen to be the longest glacier in the Wasatch Range with the glacier about 580 feet. (Eldredge) One of the …show more content…
Reaching this point the canyon turn southeast and transforms into large glacial cirque known as Albion Basin. As you can witness the landform from the earthquakes and the glacial from past landslides. 10 million years ago the little cottonwood canyon was used for mining, especially as it was broken apart by the earthquakes and lakes. The individuals used it to look for silvers and gold to make a living. Between 20.000 and 10,000 years ago when the climate was colder and wetter, glaciers covered the highest and longest mountain ranges in Utah. There was about 60 different glaciers at one time across the Wasatch Fault, with only a few that flowed beyond the mouths of the canyon. The biggest of these glaciers were in Little Cottonwood Canyon and Bells Canyon, it was 12 miles long and about 850 feet deep (Eldredge).
Summertime, cars can drive a few miles on the gravel road to a forest service campground. (Harris) They are many features that the park is used for specially hundreds years ago as it was used for mining, the first resettlement individuals used it to find gold silvers compared to now that it’s used for skiing or even just as hiking sites or either camping which provides individuals with good exposure of the area. Such a wonderful place to visit and enjoy the sun with a different humidity and nature of the land. With many rocks formation like the field camp
