Well, I might be crazy but I'm going to drive my van from Seattle to Salt
Lake City on Monday. My plan is to hopefully avoid the heat since I never
did figure out the airconditioning (like where does it connect in the
back?)

Someone mentioned camping in side canyons while I'm at this trade show. I
searched online for camping and found a few spots up Cottonwood Canyon and
at the KOA.

Now I'm debating bringing my dog which might put me in the KOA, or I can
leave her behind which might be smarter....

But - the real question - any recommendations?

Thanks,

Andree
Hi Andree,
You may want to check out Millcreek Canyon.
(Bob, do they still allow overnight camping?)
American Fork Canyon is a little farther south,
but very pretty.
There is some camping up Little Cottonwood Canyon.
Maybe that is where you stayed last time.
I'm not sure about Big Cottonwood though.
If you are coming by way of Portland,
there is some very nice camping just East of Penelton, in  the Blue Mountains,
on the West side, very near the summit.
Portage camp ground, or Pioneer, or Peasant... starts with a P? :)
Anyone?
I always try to make it there coming from SLC...
best of luck,
