Review:
Towering to a massive 13,527 feet above sea level, King’s Peak is the highest peak in Utah, proudly towering over Duchesne County in the High Uintas Wilderness Area.
The mountain regularly attracts walkers, hikers, and backpackers and has recently been named one of the best trails in the world by National Geographic.
To reach the summit, you will face a strenuous but extremely scenic 28-mile hike – most people bring along a tent and spend a memorable night or two under the stars alongside one of the lakes in the Henry’s Fork Basin.
If you’re not up to summiting the mountain, there is a variety of shorter hiking trails starting at the Henry’s Fork Campground that will lead you to picturesque lakes where you can go fishing or kayaking. Map
