Wasatch Range
Deseret Peak
The high point of the Stansbury Mountains, between Tooele and Skull valleys.
Deseret Peak is the high point of the Stansbury Mountains in Tooele County, which separate Tooele Valley from Skull Valley. The Forest Service gives 11,031 feet.
Forest Service planning describes a fault-created range with juniper and Douglas-fir lower down and spruce-fir forest higher up. Deseret Peak Wilderness was designated in 1984. State history identifies Skull and Tooele valleys as important areas of Goshute life. Trails start from South Willow Canyon, including the Loop Campground trailhead.
