THE FOOD SCENE
Brighton’s base offers several useful kinds of meal stop: Alpine Rose for cafeteria and grab-and-go food, Molly Green’s for a pub meal, and Brighton Store for quick food and supplies. Silver Fork Lodge adds a rustic sit-down restaurant in Big Cottonwood Canyon. Log Haven is a more formal destination dinner in separate Millcreek Canyon; plan the drive rather than treating it as a stop beside Brighton.
APRÈS-SKI & NIGHTLIFE
Molly Green’s is Brighton’s base-area pub option, with drinks, a fireplace and games that suit a relaxed post-ski gathering. Silver Fork Lodge offers another sit-down meal or drink farther down Big Cottonwood Canyon. Choose between staying around the mountain and returning to your Salt Lake Valley accommodation for the evening.

Log Haven
6451 Mill Creek Canyon Road, Millcreek Canyon, Salt Lake City
A Millcreek Canyon fine-dining restaurant set against cliffs, forest, waterfalls, and historic log architecture.
Why We Like It
The historic log setting, cliffs and waterfalls make this a destination dinner. It is in Millcreek Canyon, separate from Brighton’s Big Cottonwood Canyon, so plan a separate drive and reserve a table.
