Wasatch Range: Utah's Wasatch Range
built 618 days ago
Mount Nebo, the highest peak in Utah's Wasatch Range, lies along a knife edge summit ridge with three peaks along it's length. The southern-most peak (11,877 ft.) is mistaken on many maps as the highest. The true summit is the northern-most peak. It is most commonly accessed by means of a trail which begins along the Nebo Loop Road. It can ... be climbed by way of the Andrew's Ridge route, beginning at the trailhead in Nephi's Salt Creek Canyon. The established trails end at the south summit, and ridge scrambling and exposure are required to reach the north summit.

Mount Nebo, highest peak of the Wasatch, is located at the southern edge of the range. Here the Wasatch Rocky Mountain topographic or geological province begins to extend into central Utah's Great Basin and Colorado Plateau, two other huge topographic provinces which cover the rest of the state of Utah and extend into adjoining states. The Colorado Plateau comes to its northwest corner here as it meets the southern end of the Utah Rockies. Immediately west of these two, the Basin and Range province begins[1] and stretches westward across Utah and Nevada until it reaches the Reno-Lake Tahoe region, where the Great Basin ends and the Sierra Nevada Mountains begin.
