I was showing homes two weeks ago to an out of state buyer.  Because the buyer was unfamiliar with the different areas he decided to see as many homes and areas as possible in the 6 hours we had scheduled together.   With his price range, layout and features requested the buyer decided the East side of the Salt Lake valley or the South West quadrant would suit his needs the best.  He also wanted to see what the North side of Utah County had to offer.

 
Starting in Downtown Salt Lake we drove East all along the bench then up Big Cottonwood and Little Cottonwood Canyon.  Over to Draper up to Suncrest down to Lehi and South to Saratoga then we worked our way back to his hotel through Herriman, Riverton, SJ, and back on the freeway to Salt Lake. 

It didn’t really hit me as unusual because I have lived her my entire life.  But in that six hour tour  we saw snow boarders and skiers all over the canyons, hikers and rock climbers at the mouths of the canyons, golfers on the golf courses, one crazy water skier in Utah Lake, bikers and did I mention the Salt Lake Marathon was going on?  Where else can you experience so many different things in one day?  

We are pretty lucky to be able to live and play along the Wasatch Front!
