Mining Towns Were Everywhere
Little Cottonwood Canyon is situated about 15 miles southeast of Salt Lake City, Utah. A lot of mining towns like this came to exist all over the west. The ones within the Utah area were established often by Mormon miners, who had a hand in building Salt Lake Temple and adding quartz monzonite, granodiorite and granite to it.
