Nearby Restaurants

It's hard to eat healthy when you're on vacation, Vessel Kitchen is one of my nearby favorites with healthy options. I personally don't like to cook, but I love healthy, high quality, affordable food. Vessel Kitchen definitely delivers! They even get a lot of locally sourced food.

Another local favorite to hit after skiing. It's located at the case of Big Cottonwood right off the main road. Their nachos are excellent and they have a good beer selection.

Conseils aux voyageurs

Se déplacer dans les environs

The ski bus is super convenient

The 953 bus stop is located right at the end of my street. It's a super convenient way to get to and from the resorts located in the Cottonwood Canyons. With departures every 30 minutes, it's a great way to avoid the hassle of finding a parking spot. The 953 bus travels all the way to Alta and Snowbird. For Brighton and Solitude, get off at the Wasatch Blvd park and ride and hop on the 972 bus. https://www.rideuta.com/Rider-Info/UTA-Ski-Service

TRAX is a great way to get downtown

4 miles away is the nearest TRAX station, Fashion Place West and for a small fee you can take TRAX into downtown for a night out. Just be sure to not miss the last train back or be prepared to Uber.
