Storm Mountain Picnic Area- Big Cottonwood Canyon, UT

Location: Wasatch Range, 2.85 miles up Big Cottonwood Canyon.  Park either on the side of road or in the Storm Mountain Picnic area.

Cost: $7 day use only, if you park in the Picnic area.

What to expect: Fishing at the river, clean sites with fire pit, flushing bathrooms, and a playground for the kids.  Plus tons of climbing in and around!

This has become one of our favorite family climbing areas.  $7 is totally worth having a playground, shade and toilets for the kids, while you can climb some great routes.  And it is only 25 minutes from our front stoop!

Check it out on www. mountainproject.com for more details.

  1. WOW! This is a great spot Alyssa! We don't climb {well, I don't I'm terrified of heights, but I bet Dave would!} but I love the idea of going up and cooking grub and chatting while the kids play and the guys climb! :D Thanks girl!

  2. Not sure if you've found the routes around the corner (up canyon side) that are super easy 5.6/5.7ish that kids love (as well as people like me who need to bone up on some easy leading). If not, hit us up and we will direct you.
