Deseret Peak
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Deseret Peak is the highest peak in the the Stansbury Mountain Range at 11,031'[1]. It is located in the Deseret Peak Wilderness Area West of Grantsville, Utah and East of Skull Valley Indian Range. The site is a popular destination for hikers as the area is a contrast of the alpine wilderness with the surrounding desert basin. The trail that leads to the peak is easily accessible from Salt Lake City. The mountain offers views of the Salt Flats, the Great Salt Lake, and the surrounding towns and mountain ranges. On a clear day, it is even possible to see Mount Nebo, the highest peak in the adjacent Wasatch Mountain Range.
