Looking west toward Loafer Mountain 10,687' and Santaquin Peak 10,685' from Highway 6.




Looking southwest toward the east face of Mount Nebo 11,928' from Highway 6.
For multiple views of this mountain: Mount Nebo Views




Looking northwest toward Spanish Fork Peak 10,192'.



Looking north toward Mount Timpanogos 11,750'.
Box Elder Peak 11,101' is visible on the left in the distance.




From 1-15 near Provo looking west toward Lewiston Peak 10411' (smaller peak on the far left),
Flat Top Mountain 10,620' (Tallest in the Oquirrh Mountains)
and Lowe Peak 10,589'




Looking east toward Flat Top Mountain and Lewiston Peak in the Oquirrh Mountains.

Emigration Ridge




From Emigration Ridge, looking west toward Farnsworth Peak 9,040'
and Kessler Peak 8,820',
two peaks you won't be climbing any time soon.




From Emigration Ridge, looking west toward Dead Ox Pass 9,220', and Lowe Peak 10,589'.
The discoloration on the bottom is a result of Pollution.




From Emigration Ridge, looking west toward Lewiston Peak 10411'
and Flat Top Mountain 10,620' the highest point in the Oquirrhs.
On a clear day in the winter, you can see the entire Wasatch from there.
From the Wellsvilles near Logan in the North, to Mount Nebo near Nephi in the South.
A span of nearly half the state of Utah.

You won't be going there any time soon though,
as the entrance from Ophir is owned by the Ault Family.
I hear they're building a tram up to Flat Top or a nearby peak.




From Emigration Ridge, looking west toward West Mountain 9,068', Clipper Peak 9,207'
and the Bingham Copper Mine, the biggest man-made hole in the world.
There used to be a peak where the hole is.

Thanks to Gloria

Folks locally need to force the politicos to fix that. This area is a true treasure and diametrically different from the Carolinas in every way. Fantastic ! MARION SCOTLAND 2006-07-11 Been visiting my sister in Tooele,and have been very impressed with the mountains since we landed in SLC.Love the clean, fresh air and wonderful views all around the area. Most impressed with Kennecot Canyon Mine. A very beautiful area in general. Kyle West Valley, UT 2005-08-04 I'm hiking up Farnsworth Peak. Just thought you should know. Valerie Colorado Springs, CO 2005-04-29 I used to live in Utah and every morning I'd wake up and head to school and always know that I was protected by my moutians. Now I live in a place where the mountains are on the west and that's about it. I always used both the Wastach and Oquirrah for directional purposes but now, I only have one set, it's rather hard to drive around town without my mountains on both sides.

LuAnn VonHatten Tooele, Utah 2005-01-03 I've lived in Tooele all my life. I love hiking in the Oquirrh mountains. Tooele Valley is becoming a much bigger city, but the mountains still give alot of enjoyment to the growing community. My only hope is all ATV's be banished from Middle Canyon. Once pristeen trails are now torn apart from ATV's. Sad. Helen Shreve Herriman, Utah 2005-01-01 We're new to Utah and live in Herriman--just below the Oquirrh foothills, south of the Bingham Copper Mine. Trying to learn more about our new home. Love the pictures. THANX for sharing! Chap Wiltson SLC, UT 2004-03-31 Keep up the good work! Mike Robson SLC, Utah 2004-03-17 Where are your pictures from the Oquirrh mountains? how can people buy them? Name Comments E-mail* City * Your E-mail will never be distributed or displayed.
