Bull Mountain, at 9,925 feet (3,025 m) above sea level is the highest peak in the Raft River Mountains of Box Elder County in northern Utah. Bull Mountain is located southwest of Yost, Utah, west of Snowville, Utah and south of Malta, Idaho in the Raft River Division of the Minidoka Ranger District of Sawtooth National Forest.[2][3][4]
The northern slopes of Bull Mountain are drained by tributaries of the Raft River, a tributary of the Snake River, and the southern slopes drain into the Great Salt Lake. The peak can be reached via a long trail from the east or a 4-wheel drive road from the west.[5] The summit is very broad, but views from the mountain can encompass the Albion, Black Pine, and Wasatch mountains.
