Salt Lake County city guide
Draper
Corner Canyon trails, historic farm-country roots, Point of the Mountain access, valley views, and a city with one foot in Salt Lake County and the other in Utah County.
Hello, Draper
A trail town, commuter crossroads, and modern suburb with older roots still showing.
Draper stretches from the Jordan River to Corner Canyon and across the Point of the Mountain, connecting Salt Lake and Utah counties. Historic neighborhoods, employment centers, regional shopping, TRAX, freeway access, open space, and extensive trails create several very different versions of the city.
Housing ranges from older homes and horse properties to mature subdivisions, townhomes, luxury foothill estates, view communities, and new construction. County, school, water, sewer, HOA, slope, wildfire, and commute details depend heavily on the exact address.

Local flavor
Draper Days, canyon singletrack, amphitheater nights, and paragliders making gravity look optional.
Draper Days fills summer with a parade, rodeo, concerts, sports, breakfast, park activities, and fireworks. Concerts, food-truck nights, farmers markets, the Haunted Trail, and Draper Amphitheater keep the calendar moving.
Corner Canyon is the everyday outdoor star for hiking, biking, running, and horseback riding. The Flight Park, Wheadon Farm, Jordan River Parkway, historic parks, and broad open-space network give different parts of town their own favorite escape.
