Kyhv Peak, Mountain summit in Provo, United States.
Kyhv Peak is a mountain summit in the Wasatch Range that rises to 2397 meters and overlooks Provo below. The peak features limestone formations and maintains several well-established hiking trails that lead to the top.
The area has been traversed since the 1850s when Mormon pioneers established settlements in Utah Valley. The mountain trails expanded as local communities grew around the valley below.
The peak received its current name in 2022, reflecting a broader movement to update geographical names across Utah and the United States.
The Rock Canyon parking area with about 40 spaces and restroom facilities serves as the main starting point for hikers. Most routes require solid fitness and several hours to reach the summit from the base.
The Direct West Face route demands advanced climbing skills and lacks marked paths through steep terrain. This approach attracts climbers seeking a more technical challenge than the standard hiking routes.
