Description Suggest change

This area is actually not really known for its climbing, but rather for its skiing and snowboarding. Jon and I were actually out snowshoeing behind Brighton and Silver Lake. We had no intention of climbing. There is a lot of sun (bring sunscreen), but there are plenty of trees off the side of the slopes. As a general rule, you will have a fairly lengthy approach to reach any decent rock formations.

Getting There Suggest change

Head East up Big Cottonwood Canyon Road for 12.6 miles. Another .7 miles and you'll reach Brighton and the Solitude Nordic Center.
