Little Cottonwood Canyon is on the east side of the Salt Lake City Valley. Get there by following I-215 to the east, taking exit 6 off the interstate and heading east toward the mountains.

Follow 6200 South which becomes Wasatch Blvd for 1.8 miles to the stop light and signs for Big Cottonwood Canyon. Continue south (straight) through the light an additional 2.3 miles to a junction and light. Stay left here, reaching the mouth of Little Cottonwood Canyon in an additional 1.6 miles.

From the mouth of Little Cottonwood, travel up the canyon 11.2 miles to the signed Secret Lake Trailhead parking, just before the Albion Basin Campground.

From the parking area, head into the campground, going right (counterclockwise) at the campground loop. The second gated road on the right is the Point Supreme road.

Follow the Point Supreme road as it climbs, passing several cabins. It soon leaves the cabins and begins a sweeping curve north then back south as it climbs. The rugged and stunning Devils Castle to the south dominates the view, as do wildflowers in the meadow areas in mid-to-late summer.

The road makes a couple of long switchbacks before a final climb north to the ridge proper and top of the ski lift. Views from this point are outstanding in all directions!

The lift is not the true summit. To reach the Point Supreme summit, go north along the ridge on a well-used single track to the top of the next highpoint. It is just a few minutes from the lift and a leisurely walk.
