Each canyon of the Wasatch is different in topography and scenery. The back side of the range is rural with high-mountain pastures, farms, and small towns while the front side is a long stretch of cosmopolitan metropolis. This is not an area that lends itself to checking off points along a straight line. You'll enjoy the area more if you let it unfold in a series of loops and meanders, using the larger canyons to move back and forth between the two sides of the range.
