It's a very charming community, with fantastic little bed and breakfast inns. The Blue Boar in is my favorite.

The point was that Urban Salt Lake is about as beautiful by way of immediate scenery as it gets. Alpine....Midway, they're both very beautiful. I was told by the old timers that they've been calling Alpine "Little Switzerland" since pioneer times. It's neighboring city of Highland takes it's name from it's resemblance to the Highlands of Scotland. Hey, I'm European and very familiar with and have lived in the Alps. Alpine's scenery is just as or more Swiss-like than Midway. Though, I am a big fan of the way that Midway has actually embraced the Bavarian/Swiss architecture. Also of course, Alpine's roots are more of a genetic mixed bag than Midway's beginning.
