Y Mountain, Mountain summit in Provo, US
The Y Mountain Trail extends for 2.6 miles round trip with an elevation gain of 1,100 feet through the Wasatch Range terrain.
Students of Brigham Young University constructed a large concrete letter Y measuring 380 feet by 130 feet on the mountainside in 1906.
Each year, the illumination of the Y letter marks graduation ceremonies and special events for the Brigham Young University community.
Hikers need to carry sufficient water supplies as the trail lacks natural water sources and includes steep sections requiring physical preparation.
The mountain summit provides access points for paragliders who launch from designated areas to soar above Utah Valley.
