Brighton Utah, in Little Cottonwood Canyon, is best known for the Ski Resort located there. Widely known for its terrific skiing and snowboarding terrain, The Brighton Ski resort was the first of its kind in Utah and one of the first In the United States. It was built on public land, all of which is actually part of the Wasatch-Cache National Forest. This means that the whole resort is open to the public year round, though tickets must be purchased for use of the lifts. Brighton is one of the most diverse and modern areas in all of Utah, and is known as one of the most family-friendly. Brighton Resort also provides some of the best back-country skiing in Utah. Lifts provide this unique opportunity to alpine enthusiast throughout two mountains. Summer hiking and biking round out this resort's appeal.

By the mid 1800's Mormon pioneers had arrived in Salt Lake City and as they explored Big Cottonwood Canyon found thick forests and streams that made it ideal for saw mills. By 1858 three mills were operating and produced more than a million board feet of lumber to construct homes and buildings in Salt Lake and to shore up the mines that produced gold, silver and lead in nearby mountains. Located midway between several of those mines, the area became a stopping off point with an eatery, a store, and finally a hotel. The area currently boasts two Mountain Resorts, Brighton and Solitude, a few small businesses, and a number of residences, both seasonal and full-time.
