Mount Ellen, Mountain summit in Garfield County, Utah.
Mount Ellen reaches an elevation of 3,507 meters, making it the highest point in the Henry Mountains range of southern Utah.
The U.S. Army Signal Corps set a world heliograph record in 1895 by communicating between Mount Ellen and Mount Uncompahgre across 183 miles.
Almon Harris Thompson named the mountain after his wife Ellen Powell Thompson, who was connected to the explorer John Wesley Powell.
The hiking trail spans 3.8 miles from Bull Pass, requiring a high-clearance vehicle to access the trailhead at 10,500 feet elevation.
