Mount Powell

Mount Powell is a high summit in the Uinta Mountains of northeastern Utah, within the High Uintas Wilderness and Ashley National Forest. Ranked as the thirteenth highest peak in Utah, it stands among the range’s more prominent mountains. The peak was named for explorer and geologist John Wesley Powell, who later became director of the United States Geological Survey. Its significance lies not only in its elevation and name, but also in its setting: protected wilderness that preserves the alpine, remote character of the high-country landscape for which the Uintas are known.
