Utah County Highpoints
A complete guide to the summits of Utah's 29 counties
Utah is unique in that it has the average highest county highpoint elevation of all 50 states. This is surprising when you consider the 14,000+ peaks in Colorado or Alaska's Denali. (Colorado comes in second, Alaska a staggering sixth.)
Despite the height, most of these summits are remarkably accessible. Only Kings and Gilbert Peaks generally require backpacking; all others are day hikes, with many suitable for families. The diversity is immense—from high alpine summits above treeline to small knolls on remote plateaus.
Lace up your boots and explore the obscure corners of the state that mostly only highpointers ever visit.
