You may already have this link but give it a go. My memory (questionable)
tells me there is no overnight camping allowed in Millcreek. I'm in that
canyon once weekly between about April and November and have "familiarty
breeds contempt", meaning I'm on auto pilot so only have a "recollection" of
the no camping thing.

2 that do come to mind for overnighting in the canyons: both in Little
Cottonwood where Snowbird and Alta ski resorts are; Tanners Flat and Albion
Basin. The trouble with these, if it's trouble, they are up a quite steep
canyon and our vans grunt a little getting up there. The trip down is a nice
glide and a wonderful look at the valley. Gives one some idea of what the
pioneers saw, without all the development, arriving back in the mid-1800's
Anyway, there ya go. Have a blast here.
I'm headed for Silverton, CO to the syncro Safari '04 for a week beginning
tomorrow.
Luv sleepin' in ma van.

If you seek a more "woodsy, mountainous" kind of experience, there are
more than enough camgrounds to go around, but they will not be in the Salt

Lake, but its a bit north of the city itself.

thanks,

If you have a chance to go into one of the canyons, go to the top of Big
Cottonwood Canyon, about 17 miles. You won't be dissapointed.
If you have a question or seek something in particular, lemme know. Happy
to help if I can.
You will find it to be about 90 degrees and too hot at night in the
valley, around 65 or 70. Head for the hills and be in the low 80s and then
50s at night. Probably not gonna see any rain either.
Have fun!
John
