These 20 Epic Mountains in Utah Will Drop Your Jaw

We get pretty jaded here in Utah, surrounded by all these mountains. Go off to the midwest for awhile, then fly back into the state and you might have a newfound appreciation for just how jaw-dropping our mountains really are. Here are 20 reminders that we live in a pretty great state.

1) Deseret Peak

The highest summit in the Stansbury Mountains: 11,031 feet elevation.

They say this one is one of the "easier" peaks to climb. It's in Millcreek Canyon; 8,299 feet elevation.

3) The Patriarchs

They're always there, watching over the desert.

4) Jupiter Peak

At Park City Mountain Resort.

At Snowbird Ski Resort, it's certainly not very hidden from the lift.
