Minky Couture has affected the lives of a countless number of people throughout the state of Utah and beyond. Many local mothers have been given the opportunity to work as seamstresses from their own homes. This allows them to provide for their families while mastering their professional skills. Minky Couture has created a flexible and family friendly environment that is felt throughout the entire company. This has perpetuated the strength in our belief that women working together locally to provide luxury and comfort to one another is more than manufacturing a product, it is a way of achieving community. Each blanket begins with the highest quality of fabric that maintains its plush soft feel for many years. This fabric isn’t something that you can find at your local fabric store. This fabric is hand-picked and purchased through wholesale distributors ensuring a top-of-the-line thread count. We have maximized the GSM (grams per square meter) in our plush fabrics for the highest quality possible. We are continually improving the thickness and richness of our fabrics. The extensive pattern selections allow for each person to design their own customized blanket. Giving a sense of collaboration and engagement. Minky Couture is a personal partner in bringing and designing luxury and allowing customers the customized gift-giving ability. It isn’t about shopping for a blanket; it is about creating a gift that is a personalized luxury.

I-15 north to Ogden. East on 12th Street to the mouth of Ogden Canyon, SR-39. This byway can be divided into 3 distinct parts—Ogden Canyon, Pineview Reservoir, and the Monte Cristo Road. Once you enter the canyon the road quickly narrows and its cliff walls are steep, rugged, and wildly beautiful with layers of limestone and shale streaked with cream, pink, and red. Excellent fishing and hiking can be found in the canyon. Perched at the top of the canyon, 6 miles from the mouth, is scenic Pineview Reservoir and dam. Water recreation is popular year-round, with boat ramps, camping, and picnic facilities. A worthwhile stop for bird watchers is Ogden Bay Waterfowl Management Area’s North Arm Viewing Site, with a pedestrian nature trail. Past the reservoir the byway passes through the town of Huntsville on the way to a steep ascent through South Fork Canyon. The road follows the south fork of the Ogden River through heavily wooded landscapes. As the byway nears Monte Cristo summit, you can glimpse views of Monte Cristo Peak through stands of spruce and Douglas fir. Due to snow conditions, portions of this route are closed in winter.

Visit Salt Lake

Salt Lake is the place where the Wasatch mountain peaks frame city streets. Sure, Salt Lake's famed for our winter powder ([four legendary ski resorts](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/skiing-snowboarding/) just 30 minutes from downtown), but that's just one season's story. Summer brings families [hiking through wildflower meadows](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/) before cooling off at a Jazz game or the Gateway fountains. Autumn paints our mountain canyons in gold, perfect for morning strolls that end at local coffee shops. Spring? That's when you might spot baby bison on Antelope Island before heading to the Eccles Theater for a Broadway show. Our soaring Wasatch Mountains rise dramatically from downtown Salt Lake, creating a place where every day offers both natural wonders and urban energy. And while we sit perfectly between the [national parks](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/things-to-do/outdoor-recreation/state-national-parks/) with Yellowstone's geysers and Utah's red rock country, the real magic happens right here, where everyone can [discover the history](https://www.visitsaltlake.com/plan-your-visit/about-salt-lake/) of the city as they find their own rhythm between mountain adventure and city life.
