Here are some reference pictures I took from Highway 6 and
I-15 of the Wasatch and Oquirrh Mountains. This images were
shot on the way back from Phoenix.
Also included are images of the Oquirrh Mountains from Emigration
Ridge in the Wasatch.
The Oquirrh range has been a place for adventure and refuge. From skiing to hiking, to exploring and wonderment. The oquirrhs provided a place of security and growth. From viewing the Salt Lake Valley atop the peaks in summer and winter, it is awe inspiring to see the beautiful Wasatch and the mountains from Nemo to Timp, up into Wyoming and Idaho. The view is spectacular. Thanks be to God, and family members and friends who shared in the exploration of our backyards as residence of Magna. What a glorious range of mountains. :)

Visiting for a week. I was not aware of the pollution situation. Folks locally need to force the politicos to fix that. This area is a true treasure and diametrically different from the Carolinas in every way. Fantastic !

I used to live in Utah and every morning I'd wake up and head to school and always know that I was protected by my moutians. Now I live in a place where the mountains are on the west and that's about it. I always used both the Wastach and Oquirrah for directional purposes but now, I only have one set, it's rather hard to drive around town without my mountains on both sides.

I've lived in Tooele all my life. I love hiking in the Oquirrh mountains. Tooele Valley is becoming a much bigger city, but the mountains still give alot of enjoyment to the growing community. My only hope is all ATV's be banished from Middle Canyon. Once pristeen trails are now torn apart from ATV's. Sad.

We're new to Utah and live in Herriman--just below the Oquirrh foothills, south of the Bingham Copper Mine. Trying to learn more about our new home. Love the pictures. THANX for sharing!
