Mount Nebo

Mount Nebo is the high point of the southern Wasatch, near Nephi and Payson. Its long summit ridge runs along the Utah–Juab county line. The north summit, about 11,928 feet in the county high points list, is the highest; older Forest Service planning text uses 11,877 feet for the mountain.

The Utah Geological Survey points to the massif as an example of rock layers overturned in Utah's thrust belt, folded by compression and later lifted and eroded. The peak is in Mount Nebo Wilderness, designated in 1984 and managed by the Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. The Nebo Loop road reaches the area around it.
