Brian Head, Mountain summit in Iron County, Utah, US

Brian Head is a mountain summit located on the Markagunt Plateau within Dixie National Forest, in southwestern Utah, US. The peak sits at over 11,300 feet (about 3,440 m) above sea level and is surrounded by conifer forest and open rocky terrain.

The peak was named after a government surveyor who mapped the Utah territory in the early 1900s. A fire lookout station was built at the summit between 1934 and 1935 to watch over the surrounding forest.

The peak is named after a government surveyor, though the sources do not record his full name or the date of the naming. The Forest Service lookout on the summit was built in 1934–1935 and still stands above the treeline. The town of Brian Head at the western base shares the name and holds the ski resort.

A maintained road leads close to the summit during summer, making the peak accessible without a long hike. Conditions at this elevation can shift quickly, so bringing warm layers is a good idea even on sunny days.

The name Brian Head comes from a government surveyor, not a person called Brian. The summit's Forest Service lookout, built in 1934–1935, still stands on the peak, and a road reaches the top in summer. The town of Brian Head and its ski resort sit at the western base of the mountain.
