Salt Lake County Mountain Ranges

Wasatch Mountain Range

  
Oquirrh Mountain Range
The Wasatch mountain range "stretches approximately 160 miles from the Utah-Idaho border, south through central Utah in the western United States. It is generally considered the western edge of the greater Rocky Mountains, and the eastern edge of the Great Basin region" (Wikipedia).  When I visit my grandma and grandpa's house in Springville, Utah I like to look at the Wasatch Mountains and go sledding on them in the winter.





The Oquirrh Mountain Range is a mountain range that "runs north-south for approximately 30 miles to form the west side of Utah's Salt Lake Valley, separating it from Tooele Valley. The range runs from northwest Utah County–central, east Tooele County, and ends north at the south shore of the Great Salt Lake" (Wikipedia).  When I was young and lived in Provo, Utah I could see this mountain range from my parents bedroom window.
