Mountain Biking
Our new lift-served mountain biking is here, and it’s the heart of our summer scene. With two beginner trails and an intermediate line opening this summer, you can catch a ride up and cruise down smooth, flowy terrain made for all kinds of riders. It’s a soft launch with big potential—and it’s only going up from here! Mountain biking will run from July through September, conditions permitting.
Disc Golf
Our two disc golf courses wind through alpine terrain with scenic views and technical challenges for every level. Choose from two unique layouts, each with multiple tee pads to match your skill. Our disc golf courses are typically open mid-June through September, conditions permitting.


Scenic Lift Rides
Ride into a landscape worth framing. Wildflowers, ridgelines and sweeping canyon views make Brighton’s lift-served scenery perfect for photographers, nature lovers and anyone who just wants to see what the Wasatch looks like from the top. Scenic lift rides are typically open mid-June through September, conditions permitting.
