The legend of Mount Timpanogos long, long time ago, the Uintah Indians lived by a beautiful silver lake. The lake abounded in A fish which the tribe would dry and store for future use. Eventually, the tribe accumulated more dried fish than they needed. Far to the North, there lived another tribe of Indians called the Nez Perce. One year there was no rain and many of the Nez Perce died from famine. To save his people, Timpanac, the leader’s son, went to pray to The Great Spirit and was told to go south where he’d find a tribe to sell him food. After many days, Timpanac came to the Uintahs’ lake. The leader treated Timpanac kindly and was willing to exchange dried fish for rich furs. In the leader’s teepee, Timpanac saw Ucanogos, a beautiful Indian maiden. When Timpanac returned home, he gave Ucanogos a beaded headband. In return, she gave him a pair of gloves. When Ucanogos was old enough to marry she asked her father to hold a contest for all braves who wished to marry her. Ucanogos sent a runner to tell Timpanac to come. In order to marry Ucanogos, the assembled braves were required to climb to the top of a mountain where Ucanogos waited. The first to reach her could claim her as his bride. When Timpanac reached the steepest place on the mountain, the other braves were waiting for him. They pushed Timpanac over a ledge where he fell to his death. Ucanogos saw what happened, wept great tears and vowed they would never stop falling. A wall of tears still falls down this canyon—now named Bridal Veil Falls. She then threw herself off the mountain, praying to The Great Spirit to take her soul and join it with Timpanac’s. The Great Spirit was so saddened by these events he joined their hearts together as one to hang forever in Timpanogos Cave, and he set the Indian Maiden on the mountain top for eternity. Those who travel through Provo Canyon can clearly see her features. The name Timpanogos combines the names of the ill-fated lovers: Timpanac and Ucanogos.

    Transportation Observations, Considerations and Recommendations For the Tri-Canyons Area of the Salt Lake Ranger District Wasatch-Cache National Forest (December 2006) Field investigations of the current transportation infrastructure and operating systems were conducted for the Tri-Canyons by the inter-agency Transportation Assistance Group (TAG), on behalf of the U.S. Forest Service and local stakeholders. This “TAG” report was prepared subsequent to the site visit, held November 6-9, 2006. The TAG report documents a planning charrette intended to assess not only the present status of transportation facilities, but to identify challenges and opportunities to improve system safety, capacity and performance. The TAG endeavor was facilitated and funded via the Alternative Transportation in Parks and Public Lands (ATPPL) Program, as promulgated in SAFETEA – LU. “Red Snake” Traffic Congestion, Little Cottonwood Canyon Tri-Canyons: Background and Conditions The increasingly popular Tri-Canyons area in the Salt Lake Ranger District of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest (WCNF) encompasses from north to south - Mill Creek Canyon (MCC), Big Cottonwood Canyon (BCC) and Little Cottonwood Canyon (LCC); and, is located to the east and immediately adjacent to the Salt Lake metropolitan region. Known as the Wasatch Front, this general region has a population of over two million and growing. The Tri-Canyons area contains three designated wilderness units and four major ski venues (Solitude and Brighton in BCC; Snowbird and Alta in LCC), all located within 30 miles of Salt Lake City. Although the four skiing/boarding facilities are private ventures, they are operated by permit within the WCNF. Further development of “recreational terrain” is severely limited and approaching build-out within the ranger district.

It was established by a special act of Congress on April 23, 1928. At the time, many individuals and organizations were concerned about the loss of marsh habitat and waterfowl mortality. In 1843, explorer John C. Fremont described the multitudes of waterfowl at the Bear River delta. As settlement of the Salt Lake valley progressed, market hunting of waterfowl flourished. From 1877 to about the turn of the century, 2 00,000 ducks were harvested each year and sold to eastern hotels and restaurants. During the same period, residents were concerned with the devastating losses to avian botulism. In the 1900's, 50 to 70 percent of the waterfowl stopping to rest and feed died of the disease. Millions of dead birds lied scattered in the marshes - a gruesome spectacle. About the same time, large quantities of river water were diverted for farming, and the delta marshes began to dry. By 1920, about 2 to 3 thousand acres of marsh remained of the original 45,000. The Bear River Refuge comprises 65,000 acres of marsh, open water, and mud flats, which are managed for use by migratory birds.

In spite of the global economic crisis and slowdown in world trade, the future of international business is still bright. Now more than ever, you will likely work in the global economy. You might be working abroad or working in your home country for either a local multinational corporation or for a foreign-based company that is enter- ing your market. Whatever your future brings, it will be important for you to understand how to negotiate foreign languages and culture. It is one thing to study a language in school, but you also need to get used to different countries and cultures as well. Cultural is broad, and language is just one aspect. BYU is a great place to study, because over 70 percent of our students speak a second language and many have lived abroad for a year or more. In your classes, you will be able to interact with students from other countries but also with U.S. students with broad international experience. In any given class, you will have classmates with international experience in multiple countries in all regions of the world. These students have gained a knowledge of and love for the people, language, and culture of places where they have lived.
  • Big Cottonwood Canyon

    Big Cottonwood Canyon

    Chapter 11: Big Cottonwood Canyon Big Cottonwood Canyon was formed by glaciers. According to the Cottonwoods Canyon Foundation, two large glaciers broke loose from the top of the canyon. Both carved large swaths creating the canyon, until they ran into one another. From this point, the rest of the canyon was carved from the stream created by the melting of these two glaciers. You can see where the two glaciers collided­­ the canyon becomes more narrow and winding from that point down. Big Cottonwood Canyon is 15 miles long, holds two ski resorts: Brighton and Solitude. Primarily publicly owned, the canyon is managed by the Forest Service. Big Cottonwood Creek runs down canyon, and during winter, partially freezes and takes on the gorgeous cloak of snow pillows, hoar frost, ice crystals, and sheets of ice. HOW TO GET THERE: From Salt Lake City take I­15 South to I­80 East to Belt Loop­215 South and then follow the signs to the Brighton and Solitude Ski Resorts, Exit 6. Drive east on 6200 south and the road will become Wasatch Boulevard. Follow Wasatch Boulevard south to an intersection with Fort Union Boulevard (7200 South). The intersection is located 1.7 miles after exiting I­215.There is a park­and­ ride lot at the mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon for carpooling or catching the bus if you don’t wish to hassle with driving and parking. All mileage is taken from the intersection of Wasatch Boulevard and Fort Union Boulevard—locally known as the “Mouth of Big Cottonwood Canyon”.
