Wasatch Mountains - Big Cottonwood Canyon, Salt Lake City,
Utah
To Get to the Honeycomb Cliffs:
Big Cottonwood Canyon > Brighton Ski Resort > Silver
Lake > follow the trail to either Twin
Lakes or Lake Solitude (We went to Lake
Solitude) continue to Twin Lakes Pass, take a right (south)
up the white limestone hills. This would be an awesome place
to watch the sunrise, I doubt I'll ever get up here for it
though, I like sleeping in.
Foreground: West Honeycomb Cliff
Background Mount Raymond and Gobblers Knob
This limestone is made of ancient corral/bone sediment
from when this spot was under the ocean, (Eons before Lake Bonneville)
I wonder how much time it took to lay down this section?
