We have hiked this trail countless times in the past. It is great for getting out of the valley and spending time with the kids and dogs. This is an easy trail, a little intense at first climb, but simple once you get to the switchbacks. The dogs loved getting out, but even though the […]

On my highest holiday, I took the day off, packed my backpack and drove up Big Cottonwood Canyon to the Brighton Lakes Trailhead.
