A HOUSE AT THE TOP OF THE WORLD

Recently we've moved from our apartment in the valley to a townhouse about 6 miles south and 2000 feet up. Just to put it in perspective, we are currently living at 6200 feet- close to the altitude of the highest point east of the Mississippi. Pop quiz: What is the name of that mountain in NC?

Most times when storms roll in we live for days at a time literally in a cloud. We made a decision that it didn't snow quite enough for our taste (or my taste) down in the valley so we moved to a place where that is never a problem. We have yet to live a full winter up here. But if this spring is any indication, we may not walk around the neighborhood as much as we would tunnel. This new place is an outdoor enthusiast's dream. Within walking distance we have over 35 miles of trails throughout Corner Canyon, one of which connects to the best trail in the Wasatch called Jacobs Ladder. Jackpot.

The view from our oversized porch (joking, it's like the size of a washing machine) you can see the entire valley, downtown, and the Great Salt Lake beyond. At night the city looks like a blanket of stars you just want to hit golf balls at. Oh yeah, and the inside of the townhouse isn't too shabby either. Below are some pictures to go along with all these words.
