Guardsman Pass (elevation 9,717 feet (2,962 m)[2] is a high mountain pass in the Wasatch Mountains of Utah. The pass is located on the boundaries of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest (specifically the portion known as the Wasatch National Forest) to the west, and the Bonanza Flats backcountry area to the east.
It is located just south of Tri-County Peak, where Summit, Wasatch, and Salt Lake counties meet, and also provides summer hiking and winter snowmobiling access to Clayton Peak at the top of Brighton Ski Resort. It is also a trailhead for other trails in the area, though some are being moved due to the lack of space for parking and the limited sight distance for vehicles pulling out onto the roadway.
