Review & FAQ:

Gunsight Peak is one of the highest peaks in the Clarkston Mountains, located between Gilbert’s Peak and Kings Peak in northern Utah, and is clearly visible to anyone driving along the I-15.

If you enjoy exploring the path less travelled, you will love hiking Gunsight Peak – much of the approach to the peak is located on private land and very few people even know about this brilliant hike.

Visitors can choose from two routes to the summit, either approaching via the Henry’s Fork Trailhead (8 miles one way) or the Winter Canyon Route, which is considerably shorter at 5 miles one way.

If you have the time and energy, Gunsight Peak can be climbed along with Gilbert’s Peak and King’s Peak.

Campers can pitch their tent at the Henry’s Fork Campground. Map
