This community originally served as a halfway point for early settlers transporting lumber from Big Cottonwood Canyon down to the Salt Lake Valley.  It took one day to come down the mountain and another day to Salt Lake City.

 
This community has great schools, beautiful mountain views, and cool canyon breezes that come down the Cottonwood Canyons.  The local recreation center is an extensive facility with many programs and is the pride of the neighborhood.
