Driving Tips for Cottonwood Heights
- Big Cottonwood Canyon's 15-mile climb to Brighton can overheat brakes—we recommend high-temperature brake pads for regular canyon commuters.
- The descent from Solitude or Brighton is even harder on brakes than the climb; engine braking (using lower gears) saves your brake pads, but transmission fluid should be checked twice yearly.
- Ski season means cold starts and icy roads; have your battery and all-wheel-drive system checked before November to avoid breakdowns.
