Lone Peak Wilderness, Protected mountain area in Utah County and Salt Lake County, United States.
The Lone Peak Wilderness spans 30,088 acres across the Uinta and Wasatch-Cache National Forests, featuring alpine lakes, dense forests, and granite cliffs.
The United States Congress designated this area as Utah's first wilderness zone in 1978 through the Endangered American Wilderness Act.
Native American tribes inhabited these mountains for generations before European settlement, utilizing natural resources and establishing seasonal hunting grounds.
Visitors need to bring navigation tools and winter gear as snow remains until mid-summer, and cell phone coverage becomes limited at higher elevations.
The wilderness contains two peaks exceeding 11,000 feet: the Pfeifferhorn at 11,326 feet and Lone Peak at 11,253 feet.
