Cottonwood Heights has quickly become a local hot spot for real estate. Known as the gateway to the canyons, Cottonwood Heights is situated right at the entrance to Big Cottonwood Canyon, and just a few miles from Millcreek and Little Cottonwood Canyons. If you’re passionate about the outdoors, its hard to find a better spot to live than in Cottonwood Heights. The canyons offer skiing/snowboarding, sledding, tubing, snowshoeing, hiking, camping, fishing, mountain biking (go for glory on the Wasatch Crest trail!), rock climbing, and picnicking. The city offers plenty of restaurants and bars, and if sitting on the patio with a cold beer is your thing, you’ll love Hogswallow pub.
