The Big Cottonwood Canyon is a beautiful 15 mile drive that is full of great opportunities for hiking, fishing, trekking, rock climbing and even has serene spots for picnics. This area was once a mining field around the mid 1800s and visitors can still see many open mines on this stretch. From Brighton there are several easy trails leading to various picturesque lakes, including Twin Lakes, Lake Mary, Lake Martha, and Dog Lake. The trails differ in difficulty but reveal the most jaw dropping panaromas. The Big Cottonwood Canyon makes for a refreshing break from the vapid city life.
