Hidden Peak, Mountain summit in Little Cottonwood Canyon, United States
Hidden Peak rises to 11,000 feet in Utah's Wasatch Range, providing views of Little Cottonwood Canyon and the surrounding mountain ranges from its summit point.
The establishment of skiing facilities on Hidden Peak during the mid-20th century transformed Utah County into a major winter sports destination in the western United States.
The mountain draws photographers and nature enthusiasts throughout the seasons, with winter bringing ski competitions and summer offering hiking opportunities for outdoor recreation.
Visitors can reach the summit through the Snowbird aerial tram system or by following multiple hiking trails that vary in difficulty levels and seasonal accessibility.
The peak features plans for a substantial 50,000-square-foot facility including a convention center, dining venues, and entertainment spaces at its summit location.

Utah preserves thousands of years of human history alongside some of North America's most varied geological landscapes. The region contains extensive rock art panels and Ancestral Pueblo ruins, including the 13th-century stone structures at Bears Ears National Monument and the 650-plus petroglyphs carved into Newspaper Rock over two millennia. Fremont Indian State Park displays more than 1,000 artifacts from the indigenous peoples who inhabited these lands, while fossilized dinosaur tracks near Moab record the passage of Allosaurus and Diplodocus across ancient mudflats 150 million years ago. The natural environment ranges from the sculpted sandstone formations of Goblin Valley, where erosion has created mushroom-shaped rocks rising 20 feet (6 meters) from the desert floor, to the narrow passages of Kanarra Creek Canyon with its red walls and cascading waterfalls. The Wedge Overlook reveals 1,000-foot (300-meter) cliffs above the San Rafael River, while Monroe's thermal springs emerge from the ground at 110°F (43°C). Whether exploring slot canyons, examining ancient handprints on rock walls, or walking among eroded sandstone formations, visitors encounter landscapes that document both geological processes spanning millions of years and the enduring presence of human cultures in this high desert region.
