    Big Cottonwood Canyon Scenic Byway Overview

    Published on Jul 27, 2006

    Driving along the belt route, on I-215, the Big Cottonwood Canyon sneaks up on you. It's there, just a few blocks from the main, bustling thoroughfare, an immediate reprieve from the sounds and pace of metropolitan Salt Lake County. Along this twisting byway, see spectacular views of rugged rocky peaks and beautiful mountain streams. Trees line the roadway, and in the fall, the leaves burst into eye-popping shades of red, orange, and yellow. All along this byway, find picnic areas, campgrounds, and hiking trails. Near the top of the canyon, Brighton and Solitude Ski Resorts offer world-class skiing on some of the best powder in the world.
