Mount Emmons, Mountain summit in Duchesne County, Utah.

Mount Emmons is a summit in the High Uintas Wilderness that rises to 4,097 meters above sea level. The mountain features steep terrain and multiple established routes that climbers can follow to reach the top.

Mount Emmons is named for the American geologist Samuel Franklin Emmons (1841–1911), who worked for the US Geological Survey in the second half of the 19th century. The same name was given to a peak in Colorado. The summit lies in the Uinta Mountains, about 8.7 km southeast of Kings Peak, Utah's highest point.

The name Mount Emmons honors Samuel Franklin Emmons, the 19th-century geologist who also gave his name to a peak in Colorado. A small community near Altamont, Utah, about 25 miles south of the mountain, shares the same name. The peak is the fourth highest in Utah, after Kings Peak and two others.

The best climbing season runs from mid-July through mid-September when conditions are most favorable. Hikers can start their approach from trailheads located at Swift Creek or near the Uinta River.

Mount Emmons shares its name with a small community about 1 mile southeast of Altamont, Utah, roughly 25 miles south of the peak. The two are separate places, and the peak itself lies near Kings Peak, about 5.76 miles northwest.
