Emigration Canyon

Emigration Canyon lies along Emigration Creek in Utah’s Wasatch Range, where a narrow, winding valley rises from Salt Lake City’s eastern edge toward higher mountain country. The canyon formed part of the route taken by the first Mormon pioneer company entering the Salt Lake Valley in July 1847, a journey commemorated at nearby This Is the Place Heritage Park. State Route 65 follows the canyon floor, linking residential areas and trail access with the city below. Dry foothills, streamside vegetation and a swift transition into higher terrain give this part of the Wasatch Front a markedly less urban character.
