Salt Lake City’s architecture is on full display as we cruise past the storied downtown area that is home to the gold-domed Utah State Capitol, the spectacular Mormon Temple, and the Vivant Smart Home Arena, home of the Utah Jazz. Soon, we are looking at golf-courses and impressive homes and neighborhoods dotted along the foothills with the University of Utah claiming the high spot marked by the signature bold-red U on the mountainside. Then, just like that, we are climbing through rugged canyons, showing off the grandeur of Utah as we crest Parlay’s summit and head into Park City. I am enchanted by the big white barn on my right that has a massive American Flag hanging from the hay loft. I have seen this barn in many images depicting Park City, so I know I am close – I can’t believe how fast we got here!

My driver turns on to Highway 40 and we exit at the Silver Summit turn-off. At the stop sign, I look at the property angled right, and I blink – I am looking at a live buffalo, a zebra and a goat all standing together in a grassy fenced area. This makes me laugh and feel good about the free spaces and free spirits still welcome in the west! We pass a riparian with wild birds and egrets feeding alongside a small herd of Black Angus cattle, and soon make the turn into Gate House at Promontory Ranch Club. I have just accepted the position as VP of Sales and am here to meet the developer, Francis Najafi and the General Manager, Rich Sonntag at the HUB Information Center located at the heart of the project in the Ranch Compound.
