Moose Meadow

2 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents1 acre · Brighton, UT

This is a private driveway in a great location in Big Cottonwood Canyon. The driveway is long and surrounded by aspen, abutting the "old" unused house on my property, so it is private. Although near the main road, the site feels private. You are less than 1 minute walk to Big Cottonwood Creek, and there is hiking out the door in multiple directions, as well as easy biking to Solitude Resort. As a bonus, you are 1/4 mile from Silver Fork Lodge if you get a hankering for a prepared meal. Please note that there are NO DOGS allowed in Big or Little Cottonwood canyons. There is a high fine if so. So this is not an appropriate spot to bring your four-legged friends unfortunately.

The Hundred Acre Wood

4 sites · Lodging, RVs, Tents103 acres · UT

Originally homesteaded by Edwin Whiting in the 1870s, the upper reaches of Hobble Creek Canyon have been ranched by our family since 1901. Edwin was a fruit farmer and I suspect that the lone pear tree still growing (and bearing fruit) on the ranch, may have been planted by him nearly 150 years ago. Today we raise horses, but mostly we raise kids and spirits. Come up, set a spell, and renew your soul.

Summertime? Reserve a tee time at one of the four Soldier Hollow golf courses at Wasatch Mountain (fans prefer the Mountain Course). Or opt for hiking, mountain biking, horseback riding, or visiting historical sites. Try Little Deer Creek if you're lookin' to blaze your ATV down the trail.
