Brighton to Albion Basin
This is an awesome hike I did with the Scouts. It is a fantastic hike around mid-September for Fall colors. We got dropped off at Brighton Ski Resort in Big Cottonwood Canyon and hiked to Lakes Mary, Martha, and Catherine. From there we made a detour to the summit of Sunset Peak. The view is amazing, and this is the point where the boundary of three counties meet. I think this is the only place in the State where this occurs. You can probably imagine what a bunch of Scouts would do at a point like this. From there we hiked over Catherine Pass down into Albion Basin, where our drivers had brought our camping gear, and we camped in Albion Basin Campground for the night. I think the entire hike was 4 1/2 miles, and the views were so incredible that even the most reluctant hikers loved it.

That last picture is my favorite. Just breath taking!
ReplyDeleteWow those look like postcards.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a lot of fun, especially since you didn't have to carry your own camping gear!
