Ensign Peak, Summit and mountain in Salt Lake County, US.
Ensign Peak rises 5,417 feet above sea level, providing views of Salt Lake Valley, the Wasatch Mountains, and the Great Salt Lake.
In July 1847, Brigham Young and seven other pioneers climbed this peak to survey and plan the layout of Salt Lake City.
The stone monument at the summit contains materials from locations significant to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The 1.1-mile trail begins behind an LDS Church parking lot on Ensign Vista Drive and requires visitors to bring their own water.
The monument height measures exactly 18.47 feet, deliberately chosen to commemorate the year 1847.
