Deseret Peak, Mountain summit in Tooele County, United States
Deseret Peak rises to 3362 meters in the Stansbury Mountains, featuring dense mountain brush, sagebrush, grass, firs, juniper, and aspen trees throughout its slopes.
The Utah Wilderness Act of 1984 established the Deseret Peak Wilderness, protecting 25,500 acres within the Stansbury Range on the Wasatch-Cache National Forest.
The name Deseret derives from Mormon heritage, where it represented industriousness through the symbol of a honey bee mentioned in The Book of Mormon.
Visitors access the peak through Interstate 80 West and Highway 36 to Grantsville, with multiple routes including the South Willow Creek trail to reach the summit.
The mountain ranks as Utah's fourth most prominent peak with 5,800 feet of prominence, belonging to the select group of Ultra peaks in the lower 48 states.
