Dedicated to finding sensible low-impact transportation solutions in Little Cottonwood Canyon

A Tower-by-Tower Look at UDOT’s Approved Gondola P A Tower-by-Tower Look at UDOT’s Approved Gondola Project- the first angle station and tower. Take a look at the footprint, it’s is as large as the parking lot!

 

Canyon Guard invites you to take a virtual tour of the 22 gondola towers, base, and two angle stations the Utah Department of Transportation (UDOT) has approved for construction in Little Cottonwood Canyon. Using maps from UDOT’s Record of Decision (ROD), we’ve created an interactive experience that lets you explore the full scale and impact of this massive project — tower by tower, from the mouth of the canyon to Alta.

To see the rest of the towers in video and 3D renderings, visit canyonguard.org/tower-tour/
