Twin Lakes Pass, Brighton, UT

This is a picture of Jay and Susan, my in-laws, perched on top of Twin Lakes Pass after a half-day hike. This goes to prove that the mountains of Brighton, Utah are accessible for and the hiking amenable to all age groups. Jay just celebrated his 75th birthday. Can you imagine better in-laws, especially the ones that adore nature like I do and continually want to be active? There is no sitting around with them around. We had a wonderful birthday lunch on top of Twin Lakes Pass with fresh strawberries, turkey and sprout sandwiches and cold clear Brighton water. If you spent a weekend here skiing in the Wintertime when 20 foot snowdrifts are common, you would understand just how crystal clear, cold, pure and refreshing the taste of Brighton water is. The highlight of my day, speaking as a Mom, was that my kids didn’t dare whine with their grandparents in tow. I wish they were around when it was time for the kids to clean their rooms.

I am interested as to what this trail is like. We have hiked Catherine’s Pass, which is pretty level and easy to navigate. Is this the trail from the Alta parking lot below?
Thanks for your response
