Even with Utah's goofy liquor laws you can still find a great selection of wine, spirits and beer at Cottonwood Heights state run liquor store. You can purchase a limited selection of lower alcohol beer (< 5.0% ABV) in grocery and convenience stores.

Neighborhoods
Although the neighborhood is secluded and a little difficult to locate initially it is the perfect setting for a spectacular stay. The street is quiet with very little traffic and the house is located right in between Big and Little Cottonwood canyons. This provides easy access to the canyon's ski resorts, mountain biking and hiking. Both Alta and Snowbird as well as Solitude and Brighton are less than 15 miles away. Park & Ride lots to access public ski buses for either canyon are less than 5 miles away. My house backs to Little Cottonwood creek and the deck overlooks scrub oak, pines and secluded garden areas with no fences.
