How to plan the area well
Plan Big Cottonwood Canyon as part of a wider neighborhood or city block instead of making it the only stop in that part of the day.
Outdoor stops usually work best when you pair them with one or two nearby indoor attractions instead of stacking too many transit-heavy moves.
