Description: Best Things Nearby:
The wonderful Wasatch Mountain Range . . . with all its hiking trails and a tram that takes you to the peak!
The Snowbird Drain Tunnel. The tour starts at "The Cliffs" resort -- close to Iron Blosam -- with a lecture given by an IB activities'' person before you head down into the historic tunnel.
You can learn about the Mormon settlers of the mid-1800s getting their important stonework to build their Temple. We heard a very interesting lecture on it one evening in the exact place where it all started so long ago!
Best Things About the Resort:
This was an outstanding "studio" unit on 2 levels -- we could enter the unit from either the 10th or 11th floor. The "main entrance" was on 10, which consisted of the kitchen -- which was adequate -- a full bathroom, closet space in the long hallway.
The hallway led to the medium-sized living room. There was a fireplace in one corner, a Murphy bed, a couch, a couple of chairs, small tables, and lamps. There was a dining area too off the kitchen with table and chairs.
A long stairway took us up to the second floor of the unit. We could also get off the elevator on the 11th floor, and, on entering the unit, be in the bedroom. There is a long corridor leading to the actual bedroom, which has a double bed, a dresser and I remember a lovely lamp on the dresser made of railroad spikes! Very unique to the area! Lovely! There's some closet space in the bedroom too. There's also a full bathroom on this level -- an exact replica of the one on the first level. The bathrooms are not "decorative", but spacious, with two sinks and tub/showers.
If memory serves, there are small balconies off both levels, looking out at the Wasatch mountain range. What views to behold!!!
We had a television in the living room and the bedroom, and a telephone on both levels. We were very well supplied with towels and linens for our week's stay.
Resort Experience:
It's a very warm, hospitable, active, and fun resort with a lot going on! There are some very "colorful" and "unique" activities hosted by Iron Blosam that I'll tell about in another part of our Iron Blosam experience.
The resort has an outdoor child's pool, as well as an adult pool. There is a whirlpool hot tub, exercise equipment, a games room, a health club, a sauna, a playground, tennis courts, laundry facilities, and a restaurant on-site. There is downhill skiing in the winter -- that is BIG here! !
A grocery store is within a few miles (before you get to Iron Blosam), there's childcare service in the area, and there's a golf course 8 miles from the resort.
