Brian Head’s lure during the winter months for those wanting to hit the powdery slopes for winter recreation is well known throughout the nation. Boasting some of the best snow on earth, the resort town brings people from all over to experience the premier powder and quaint, relaxed ambiance. However, what more people are discovering is that the town is also fast becoming a major player as a venue for big events and summertime fun.
Brian Head Resort has ramped up its offerings in activities and events throughout the summer months. With the melting of the snow, a transition takes place for an entirely different type of outdoor adventure and fun, as ski slopes blossom into hiking and mountain biking trails offering cooler mountain temperatures and unparalleled scenery. Camping, fishing, hiking, mountain biking, or just simple relaxing are only a few of the options available.
The family-friendly resort also offers a host of summertime activities at the mountain base. Kids and adults alike will find thrills and challenges as they take time to play. The Cliff Hanger Climbing Wall offers several climbs of varying levels of difficulty. The Peak Shot Bungee Trampoline offers the chance to become an high-flying acrobat, with near weightlessness allowing for incredible moves and flips. The Ridge Runner Zip Line gives riders another flying experience. Avalanche Tubing is a wild adrenaline rush where riders hold on with thrilling excitement, wondering if they will remain on course or spin out of control. The Alpine Plunge Bag Jump lets jumpers free fall from varied heights to the safety of a 50’X50′ airbag. For a calmer experience, try the tranquil Scenic Lift Ride, rising approximately 1,000 feet from the base to 11,000 feet. At the top, even cooler temperatures are found along with trails and beautiful panoramic views.
The Brian Head summer events calendar has already been packed, with events ranging from the Independence Day Celebration and BBQ Blues and Brews to the Intermountain Bike Race, classic car show, and Festival of Flavors.
