Black & White panorama photograph of Little Cottonwood Creek along Little Cottonwood Canyon. Little Cottonwood Creek drains the core of the Wasatch Range east of the Salt Lake valley and serves as one of the main water supplies for the Salt Lake City area. The creek begins less than 10 miles upstream from this location as snowmelt high in the glacier-sculpted valleys above the town of Alta. The 11,000-foot peaks which surround Little Cottonwood Canyon squeeze prodigious amounts of moisture from the clouds during the winter season. The resulting snowfall buries these mountains beneath a deep mantle of snow and provides for some of the most reliable ski conditions found anywhere in the world. This panoramic black & white photograph was captured with a 6x17 panorama format camera.
