Big Cottonwood Canyon is one of the most beautiful canyons in Utah. Visit in Spring, Summer or the Fall to see breathtaking views and beautiful colors. Plenty of hikes, awesome ski resorts in the winter (our whole family LOVES Brighton) and even a great canyon for a marathon (in September).

I went hiking further south in another canyon and after lunch decided to visit Silver Lake on a whim with the intention of hiking to the other lakes nearby. Before I made my way I checked the road conditions and it was open so assumed the trail was open also. When arriving at Silver Lake there was still snow cover... More

We drove on this road just to see how it looks and for photography. It was OK. If you plan to hike, bicycle or ski - then it would be totally different story! It is very nice place for the local people to spend day or two or even the week of vacation. But just for a drive? I wouldn't... More
