Silver Lake (Big Cottonwood)
Brighton, Utah
0.1 miles W of Brighton, Utah
This hike has everything. The trail passes by three bodies of water and winds through beautiful woodland areas. Wildlife is in abundance. Everything from chipmunks to moose can be observed along the trail. The trail features plenty of shady, wooded areas as well as sunny, open stretches from which to enjoy the area's spectacular views. This trail makes for the perfect evening hike.
The trail's elevation gain is significant and takes place within only 1/4 - 1/3 of the trail's total length. However, hiking the trail in a counter-clockwise direction (Lake Solitude Leg first) will provide the least strenuous climb, as the climb in this direction is not quite as steep and the trail condition is much better. For a real workout, hike the trail in the clockwise direction (Twin Lakes Leg first).
ADVISORIES: Lake Solitude leg of the trail is frequented by mountain bikers. No dogs are allowed anywhere in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Insect repellent is highly recommended.
