Catherine Pass & Sunset Peak

Moderate summit hike from the Albion Basin side, crossing the LCC/BCC divide at Catherine Pass and climbing to the 10,648-ft summit of Sunset Peak for a 360° view of Alta, Brighton, and both cottonwood canyons. Intersects with the Lake Mary / Lake Martha / Lake Catherine chain on the Brighton side — a common extension for a longer day.
