Abajo Peak

Abajo Peak rises to an elevation of 3,465 meters within the Manti-La Sal National Forest, forming the highest point of the Abajo Mountains.

The mountain territory holds significance for Native American tribes who inhabited the region before European settlers arrived in the nineteenth century.

The peak serves as a research location for scientists studying high-elevation environments and documenting the behavior of local wildlife species.

Multiple trails lead to the summit, requiring proper hiking equipment and weather condition checks, especially during winter months when temperatures decrease significantly.

Communication towers at the summit create a distinctive silhouette visible from Monticello, while the peak maintains a prominence of 1,387 meters.
