Highland, Utah County, Utah, is the place I was born and where I lived for most of my first 25 years and have lived since 2003. Because my life is linked strongly to this place, I have chosen to set down a few facts about Highland, gleaned from many various sources, including my own memory.

Situated at the mouth of beautiful American Fork Canyon on the high bench above American Fork is the lovely little community of Highland. Many families have lived in this community and many people have moved from this little settlement but still love to call it home. It is known for its brisk north winds and high snowdrifts in the winter and the cool canyon breeze in the summer evenings.
