I had the opportunity to go on this hike not too long ago. The Sunset Peak hike is up Big Cottonwood Canyon. From the base of the trail it is about three miles up and three miles back. You pass by three lakes on your way up to the peak. 
Sunset Peak elevation is about 10,678 feet. You can park at Brighton and hike up from there. I enjoyed this hike thoroughly. It was peaceful at the top and the view is great.
I recommend this hike to anyone interested in beautiful scenery, a decent hike, and a great view at the top.
