Nature
Mount Agassiz is a 12,433-foot peak in northeastern Utah’s Uinta Mountains, within the High Uintas Wilderness of the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. In a high mountain landscape spanning parts of Duchesne and Summit counties, it is named for 19th-century paleontologist, glaciologist, and geologist Louis Agassiz. Its importance lies in its place among Utah’s highest and most remote mountain country and in its setting within a protected wilderness area that forms one of the state’s best-known alpine regions.
