Brighton Activities
Skiing and riding is Brighton’s bread and butter. If you’re not on the mountain here, there isn’t much else to occupy your time.As the base area lies at the back of the Big Cottonwood Canyon road, there isn’t anything else to go to Brighton for other than snowsports. Snowshoeing is possible in the surrounding areas, though the mountain trails can often get steep in a hurry and the mountain does not offer guided hiking, snowshoeing, or backcountry trips. Other operations in the area can provide guided backcountry snowmobiling excursions, but all will be booked through a third party organization. This area may not offer much else, but if you have traveled a long way to ski or ride the “Best snow on Earth,” you will not leave disappointed.
