On all sides it seems like mountains. The Wasatch to the east, and the Oquirrh's to the west. Close to the local schools, 20 minutes to the airport, 9 ski resorts within 90 minutes, including world famous Snowbird just 40 minutes away. There are over 100-movie screens within 10 minutes of the house, over 50 restaurants within 2 miles, and Costco, Walmart and Smiths within 2 miles. Plus a hospital 6 minutes from the front door which we visited a few times with bumps and bruises, but within 30 minutes of the world class Huntsman Cancer Center and renowned Primary Children's Hospital. Just 25-minutes from all the downtown attractions, like Temple Square or the Utah Jazz NBA basketball.
And of course the most beautiful mountain trails for hiking and bikes are close by too. If you can't find an activity, it is great to be able to relax, catch up on some reading, watch a little TV or surf the web in comfort.
