Brian Head Travel Information
Brian Head is beautifully situated among the dense forests and
lofty peaks of the Markagunt Plateau. At 9,850 feet, it is the highest
municipality in Utah. Winter visitors come for the skiing at Brian Head Ski
Resort. Summer visitors come for the beautiful high country
scenery of the Markagunt Plateau (including Cedar Breaks National
Monument) and the lift-facilitated hiking and biking trails at the
summer ski resort. In winter, Brian Head exhibits a real bustle;
summers are quiet and unhurried. Summers are also a perfect time to
explore the mountains via one of several gorgeous scenic drives,
including Highway 143 itself.
Recreational services in town are easily found, from ATV to
snowmobile rentals. Those out for a more sedate kind of relaxation
will discover day spas. Eateries range from cafes to grills and steak
houses and lodging tends to be in fine alpine lodges.
