This month marks the 50th Anniversary of Brian Head Town, and we’re kicking off the celebration with the grand re-opening of the Aspen Meadows Loop (formerly Scout Camp Loop)—a 10-mile trail once damaged by the 2017 fire and now fully restored.
Join us Friday, July 25 at 9:00 AM at Brian Head Town Hall (56 N Hwy 143) for a community gathering and guided group hike (5-mile and 10-mile options available). This restoration was made possible through partnerships between Brian Head Town, Aspen Meadows, the Utah Division of Outdoor Recreation, Dixie National Forest, and the Federal Highway Administration.
From tree plantings and drive-in movies to live music, car shows, and a drone show finale, the weekend is packed with events for all ages. Join us July 24–26 to celebrate Brian Head’s 50th Anniversary in true mountain town style.

14 new ski lifts on public land
382 acres of new trails
19 miles of snowmaking infrastructure
New restaurants, roads, ski patrol hubs, and more
Additionally, seven new lifts are planned within Aspen Meadows, connecting private and public terrain and securing Brian Head’s future as a premier year-round destination.
Public open houses begin this month:
July 29 – Brian Head Lodge
July 30 – Parowan City Office
July 31 – Southern Utah University (Cedar City)

To close out this historic week, join the Aspen Meadows team for a celebratory drink at our own grand opening of our Inspiration Home at One Peak Drive, this Friday, July 25th, at 5 PM.
We’ll raise a glass to Brian Head’s 50th Anniversary, the restoration of the Aspen Meadows Loop, and the exciting future ahead for the town, the resort, and our mountain community.
