Brighton, Utah
William Stuart Brighton was born in Lanarkshire, Scotland in 1829. He married Catherine Bow (born in 1827 at Sterling, Scotland) in 1850. He was baptized into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints in 1844. They immigrated to Missouri in 1855 with two children, one of whom was a two-year old daughter, Mary, who was buried at sea during the passage. They came to Utah in 1857 by handcart company. They had four sons born in the United States – Robert, William, Thomas, Daniel, and Janet, born in Scotland.
In 1871 William S. Brighton claimed over 100 acres at the top of Big Cottonwood Canyon. William and Catherine built the first hotel there at “Brighton” in 1874. It was razed in 1945. Later they added cottages, the original Brighton store, a post office, a telephone service, a dairy service, freight haulage, a bakery and a sawmill.
Catherine Bow Brighton named the lakes around Brighton – “Mary” after her infant daughter, “Catherine” after herself, “Martha” after a friend, etc. About 1887 the Brighton sons built the first telephone line through Brighton to Alta. The world famous ski resort and area is now permanently called “Brighton” after this early family.
William Stuart Brighton died in 1895 and Catherine Bow in 1894. They are buried in the Salt Lake City Cemetery.
Hiking Weather Dog Lake & Mary Lake in Skiing Resort Brighton, Utah, U.S.A. Outdoors Nature Hiking
On Saturday I took a hike up to Brighton Ski Resort and did a hiking excursion up to Dog Lake & Mary Lake. On my way, I saw four deer grazing and two Rocky Mountain Pikas gathering food on some granite rocks.
The weather was amazing at 70 degree weather with a light breeze. Sunshine was shining through the trees and it was an all day hike.
The music I used is Rossini's William Tell Overture.

Hi, I decided to film Evergreen again since the conditions were a lot better. There is more powder this time and it's a lot softer. I'm sorry for the worse quality of this video, due to it snowing. I don't think it's that bad for the weather though! Please like, comment, and subscribe!
