Mount Millicent is a prominent 10,452-foot summit in northern Utah’s Wasatch Range, rising steeply above Brighton Ski Resort and the headwaters of Big Cottonwood Creek about 20 miles southeast of Salt Lake City. Formed of granodiorite from the igneous Alta stock, it is part of the rugged central Wasatch high country. Its elevation gives it a subarctic climate bordering on alpine, with long snowy winters, cool to warm summers, year-round precipitation, and summer thunderstorms. Officially recognized by the United States Board on Geographic Names and identified in a 1916 book as one of the principal peaks of the Rockies, it remains a notable landmark in the Brighton area.
