Review:
Guardsman Pass Scenic Backway is a scenic backcountry drive that connects Salt Lake Valley, including the towns of Brighton, Solitude, Park City, and Midway.
It is part of Utah State Route 190, also known as the Big Cottonwood Canyon Scenic Byway, which runs east and west through Salt Lake County. After passing through Brighton, Guardsman Pass Scenic Backway becomes a narrow mountain road on its way to Park City.
There are beautiful fields of wildflowers, forests of aspens, red mountain maples, and evergreen trees, and views of high mountain peaks. Passenger cars are able to make the trip on the dirt and gravel mountain road.
