Review:

Howell Peak is located in a very remote area of the House Range in the western Utah Desert, 180 miles from Salt Lake City.

Howell Peak attracts very few visitors, which is a boon to those who long for peace and tranquility and the uncanny silence that comes with this beautiful desert location. Hikers can get fairly close to the start of the trail by car and there are several spots along the route to the peak where you can enjoy a night of primitive camping under the wide desert skies.

Howell Peak is best explored between fall and the end of spring as the high summer temperatures make hiking extremely unpleasant.

Nearby attractions you might like to explore include the U-DIG Fossil Quarry and Council Cave. Map
