Awesome ride up through big cottonwood canyon and down to park city. ROAD closed in the WINTER.
Guardsman Pass is a must do for summer. National scenic byway over 10,000 ft pass from Brighton to Park City (see our guide for favs in PC) or the quaint Swiss Village of Midway and Wasatch Mountain Golf (ranked in 10 best public courses in US). Narrow road with very sharp turns. Can be very crowded at peak times. Morning drive recommended, very early if you want to park and check vista or hike from many trails off the byway.

It's gorgeous. On one side you can see Park City. The other, Heber. And you can drive atop the mountains over to Solitude. Can connect to many great trails to hike and/or bike (and I almost always see a moose). Note: road is closed in the winter.
It is breathtaking in the fall. This is the back road to Park City, although it is closed during the winter.
