This trail head leads to Grizzly Gulch and then Twin Lake. Beautiful trail with amazing biodiversity. The beginning is a bit steep and gnarly and the rest are moderate hike mostly. I just learned every year in the Wild Flower Festival held by Cottonwood Canyon Foundation, this is the trail where they conduct guided tour. It makes sense given the huge number of native wild flowers all along the way.

Pretty nice trail to hike. There was a lot of people on the trail which for some people they may not like but for me uts nice to see and hear that I'm not the only one huffing and puffing and re-evaluating our lifes choices as to why we ever decided to take hiking up as a hobby. The scenery on this hike is great and the wildflowers only add to the beauty of the scenery.

This is a review of summertime conditions at Snowbird. We were staying in Snowbird for a few days and decided to take a hike up the Alta-Brighton Trail. What a beautiful summertime hike. The hills are sloping, so nothing too difficult, but if hiking the entire length of the trail, plan for being out most of the day. We hiked out to find evidence of mining from years gone by. We located an abandoned mine and the steam engine that drove the pully. It was very cool. We also hiked up nearby Mt. Superior and built a cairn on top. What a beautiful hike and we are enjoying so much of snowbird in the summer.

A little steep at first but opens up to a beautiful road leading to many trails including mines, rivers, mountain peaks.

Great area, still snow on June 4. We ended up walking around off the trail and it was amazing

This was a beautiful hike up to the twin lakes pass and then on up to Patsy Morley Summit.

I'm only giving a 3* rating because I'm here for work and not able to enjoy the things it may have to offer. Sure is beautiful!!
