The trailhead for Silver Lake is walking distance from The Milly. The walk is just under a mile (.8 miles) with an elevation gain of 61 feet, with a mixture of gravel and boardwalk.
The hike to Lake Mary was the first adventure Matt and I took while exploring Brighton years ago. The hike is gorgeous and Lake Mary is absolutely stunning! A sight worth seeing!
Check out the gorgeous place where we got engaged by hiking to Jupiter Peak between Brighton Resort and Park City. There are several ways to hike to Jupiter Peak. We took the route from Empire Pass > Charlies 9k Trail > McConkey's Double Track > IO Upper > Jupiter Ridge > Jupiter Peak // Engagement Location. :) Check out the app, Trail Forks to find the best route for you. Cheers!
The single-track trails at Solitude are great and typically aren't too crowded!
