About This Event
We’re embarking on a beautiful hike that connects the Catherine’s Pass trailhead, crossing over to Brighton. Along the way, we’ll have the option to summit Sunset Peak and take a leisurely stroll past the picturesque “Catholic Girl” lakes: Mary, Martha, and Catherine. This hike is a stunning reminder of the natural beauty the Wasatch Range has to offer.
Logistics are key for this hike, so we’ll meet at Brighton and carpool to Alta to start. After the hike, we’ll ensure everyone with cars at Alta gets back to their vehicles at Brighton.
