Signal Peak, Mountain summit in Washington County, United States.
Signal Peak is a mountain summit in Washington County located in southern Utah that rises to about 5,100 feet above sea level. The peak stands out as a prominent landmark in the surrounding terrain due to its elevation and distinctive shape.
The peak played a strategic role during World War II when navigation aids were positioned at the site to assist military operations. A fire observation tower was later constructed at the location to monitor the surrounding forest lands.
The peak lies within Yakama Nation territory, and the landscape holds meaning for the people whose ancestors have lived and traveled through these mountains for generations.
The trail to the summit is suitable for hikers with moderate fitness levels and passes through several different elevations and forest zones. Visitors should bring appropriate gear and supplies, as the route takes several hours to complete.
A fire observation tower stands at the summit, having been relocated from another location to serve this peak. The tower represents a piece of heritage fire management infrastructure that remains functional and visible to hikers.
