Emigration Canyon
Gateway to the Salt Lake Valley

Did you know?

That Emigration Canyon ALMOST became home to a “Summer Whitehouse” Presidential retreat? That an electric railroad ran the whole length of the canyon? That it was home to one of the largest breweries west of the Mississippi? That it was at least partly responsible for the demise of the Donner-Reed Party?

​

You can learn about all of this and more in a book by canyon residents Jeffrey Carlstrom and Cynthia Furse, Emigration Canyon: Gateway to Salt Lake Valley.

​
