Review & FAQ:

Beautiful Deseret Peak is the highest summit in the Stansbury Mountain Range (11,031 feet) in the Deseret Peak Wilderness in western Utah.

The Utah mountain attracts a large number of hikers each year and there are several trails to be explored.

Many visitors use the South Willow Creek route to reach the summit and return along the same route (an 8-mile roundtrip), but the best way to appreciate the entire scenic mountain is to do a loop hike, returning via the Pockets Fork and Dry Lake Fork trails.

If you want more of a challenge, you can try the Twin Couloirs snow/ski route.

There are six campgrounds in the area and the best time to hike Deseret Peak is between Memorial Day and late October. Map
