I have a nephew and his wife, heavily into the outdoors, couldn’t afford to live in New York State.
Picked out Salt Lake sight unseen based on its proximity to wild places. Hit a gold mine of what they were looking for 😎 Took a 30% pay cut and still lives better/bigger house than they could in NY State.
Clean, safe, friendly.
I was expecting a moonscape like I recall around Green River
Couldn’t have been more wrong. IIRC this is Cottonwood Canyon, maybe 25 miles from Salt Lake City. There’s a friggin’ MOOSE just out of sight in the photo, Google says hunters harvest about 7,000 annually in Utah.
Surrounded by public lands, abundant off-road areas, fishing and hunting.
Birdwatcher gives it two thumbs up, and then some 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
