THE DANIELS SUMMIT EXPERIENCE

This isn’t just a place to stay. It’s where trails start at your doorstep, powder comes early, and time slows down for big adventures and lasting memories. Whether you're here to ride, roam, or reconnect, Daniels Summit moves at your pace, and leaves a mark.

Snowmobiling

This is what we’re known for. With the trailhead right outside your door, Daniels Summit offers direct access to over 200 miles of backcountry terrain, including 30 miles of groomed trails. Guided and unguided rides make it easy to explore Utah’s best snowmobiling (no shuttles required!).

Dining Fuel the fun with flavor. At Lodgepole Grill, hearty mountain comfort food is served morning to night, perfect after a long ride, hike, or powder day. (Breakfast, lunch, and dinner. No cabin stay required.) Read More

Pool & Spa Our indoor pool is the perfect place to unwind, with lodgepole pines framing every view. Slip into a warm soak after a day of snowmobiling, drift through gentle laps as the sun sets, or restore fully with a massage treatment designed to melt away tension. Relaxation comes naturally at altitude.

Hiking Saddle up in the Wasatch Mountains, where trails wind through ridges, meadows, and hidden clearings untouched by time. Whether you’re new to riding or experienced in the saddle, each path offers a rare chance to connect with nature in its purest form

UTV Rentals Throttle up and hold on. Take the backcountry by the wheel and bring your crew with you. This is mountain riding, unfiltered.

Horseback Riding Ride like the land was never paved. Our wranglers know every bend, ridge, and clearing by heart. Whether you're a first-timer or born in the saddle, these trails offer something rare, connection without distraction.

Fishing Slow the day to a cast and a current. With pristine alpine streams nearby, anglers of all levels can find peace, patience, and maybe a good story to bring home.

Mountain Biking Bring your bike and breathe deep. With direct access to hundreds of miles of high-country trails in the Uinta National Forest, this is riding at its most rewarding. Long climbs, fast descents, and no crowds.

Strawberry Reservoir Adventure, just down the road. Strawberry Reservoir is a quick drive from the lodge and offers world-class trout fishing, wide-open water for boating, and quiet shoreline escapes. Spend the day on the lake, then come back to comfort, your room, your fire, your summit.

Snowmobiles, Spa Days & Everything In Between

Snowmobile rentals on-site, with direct access to over 200 miles of backcountry trails. Guided and unguided snowmobile rentals are available daily for every experience level.

Indoor heated pool, hot tub, fitness center, and spa offering Swedish, deep tissue, Ayurvedic, and stone therapy treatments.

Dining at the Lodgepole Grill plus our general store is stocked for both explorers and loungers.

Our Roots Run Deep

Daniels Summit Lodge has stood quietly at the edge of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest since 1998, welcoming guests not with grand gestures, but with a sense of place that speaks for itself.

We didn’t choose this location for convenience. We chose it for the stillness, the solitude, and the way the seasons leave their mark on anyone who spends time here.

This lodge was built to share that experience, not to overpower it. That’s why we keep things small, work with local partners, and make sure every decision puts the land first. So what’s wild stays wild, and what’s real keeps bringing people back.
