Driving the Byway

The Big Cottonwood Canyon Scenic Byway begins at the intersection of Wasatch Boulevard and Fort Union Boulevard, in Cottonwood Heights, Utah.

Take E. Big Cottonwood Canyon Road (UT-190/UT-160) east.

At Storm Mountain the road twists and turns through folded rock formations, with an occasional glimpse of climbers on towering rock faces. At Reynolds Flat, meadows open up to show a meandering stream, wetlands, wildlife, and views of Cardiff Fork to the high peaks of the Wasatch Mountains.

Continue onto Wasatch Mountain State Park Road to reach the Silver Lake Visitor Center at Brighton, Utah, where the byway ends.
