Summer at Alta is all about slowing down and taking in the beauty of the mountains. While summer amenities are very limited, there are still a few great food options open in the summer—ranging from the Gulch Pub at Snowpine Lodge to brunch at the Alta Lodge to a camp store conveniently located at the Cecret Lake trailhead.
