Wasatch Range, Mountain range in northern Utah, United States.
The Wasatch Range stretches 160 miles from Idaho's border to central Utah, with peaks reaching elevations above 11,000 feet along the eastern edge of Salt Lake City.
The formation of these mountains began 12 to 17 million years ago through geological forces that created sharp ridgelines characterizing Northern Utah's current landscape.
The Mormon settlement in 1847 established communities along the Wasatch Front, using mountain streams for irrigation systems that supported agricultural development.
The range contains multiple ski resorts, including Park City Mountain Resort and Deer Valley, receiving over 500 inches of annual snowfall for winter sports.
Seven major canyons emerge from the Wasatch Mountains, with Little Cottonwood Canyon extending 15 miles and housing the Snowbird and Alta ski destinations.
