PERFECT!
Thanks so much for taking the time to post that. They all sound great, so out of them all, which one is the best as far as seeing something cool and a decent hike? The Lava tubes look pretty cool.

Anyone know the conditions around Little Cottonwood?
I'm planning a day hike up around Alta to Lake Catherine and Twin Lakes. Anyone know if it's passable yet? I'll have my 7 year old son, so I don't want it to be too crazy.
