Review:
The Wickiup is located in the San Rafael Swell area of Utah and gets its name from the Native American word for a dwelling or wigwam, which has a very similar shape to this unique mountain.
At just 6,000 feet, the Wickiup is nowhere close to being one of Utah’s tallest mountains but it is certainly one of the most interesting and includes some of the oldest geological rock formations in the state.
You can drive to the base of the trail with a four-wheel drive (provided the road is not wet or snowy) and the distance to the summit is about 6 miles one way.
The Wickiup is not the easiest mountain to climb due to lots of loose and brittle rock and is not recommended for beginners. Map
