Solitude Ski Resort in Fall Foliage

Solitude Ski Resort is one of the more famously loved ski resorts in Utah. It's close to Salt Lake City, has wonderful winding mountain roads up Big Cottonwood Canyon and yet takes very little time to get to.


During the Fall season you will find some extremely vibrant fall foliage that will delight your senses next to Solitude.

You will find huge patches of intense yellows surrounding the Solitude Ski Resort. Starting at the entrances you will be greeted by flaming yellows and oranges.

It's beautiful to pull into the parking lot of Solitude and be welcomed by clusters of fall foliage at it's best!

This next picture is high in the mountain top with the chair lifts. Can you picture taking a ride on the Solitude chair lifts to enjoy the beauty of the trees. This would be an amazing ride up and down but unfortunately the ski lifts aren't running yet!

The leaves this year have been extremely healthy. I was able to get close enough to this tree (3rd picture) to show you the health of the leaves along with the richness of color found in Utah.

If you are in Utah for the month of October do not hesitate to take a drive up the mountains. Within 1-2 hours you can enjoy all areas of the mountain along with stopping and taking a few hikes up to enjoy the trees within the mountain.
