Our Mission

We fight for Little Cottonwood Canyon because we love it.  Its unparalleled beauty stuns us every time we see it.  This is why we flock to the canyon.  Not just for the awesome skiing and unmatched powder, not just for the spectacular climbing, hiking, and mountain biking, but for the unmatched beauty. 

Friends of Little Cottonwood Canyon came together to protect that beauty.  As a group of local residents who have long enjoyed the natural beauty of Little Cottonwood Canyon, we believe the canyon should be protected from expansive development and overuse for future generations. We have grown up with the canyon and want to see our children grow up enjoying the same pure water, pristine views and unspoiled wilderness. Protecting it is our mission.
