Wasatch Mountain Range Images
The Wasatch Mountain Range runs about 160 miles from the Utah-Idaho border south to central Utah. In the language of the native Ute people, Wasatch means “mountain pass” or “low pass over high range. The mountains were named for a Shoshone leader who was named with the Shoshone term wasattsi, meaning “blue heron”. The range’s highest point at 11,928 feet is Mount Nebo, a triple peak rising above Nephi, at the southern end of the range.
Today, 85% of Utah’s population lives within 15 miles of the Wasatch Range mostly on the Wasatch Front which is on the west side of the mountain range.
I hope you enjoy viewing my Wasatch Mountain Range photos.
