Historical Note

Save Our Canyons is a non-profit organization that is "dedicated to protecting the beauty and wildness of the Wasatch canyons, mountains, and foothills". The organization educates the public and furthers the goals of protecting the natural environments around Salt Lake City, raises awareness on issues of concern, does the effort to get citizens actively involved in public land issues, while working with local government entities. The Citizens' Committee to Save Our Canyons was founded in 1972 in response to the threat of urbanization of the Wasatch Mountains just outside of Salt Lake City. The opening of Snowbird Ski Resort along with its plans for tramways accessing satellite villages throughout the Wasatch, catalyzed the movement to protect the remainder of this beautiful area in its natural state.
