Ranging east and west for nearly 150 miles, they are the highest in Utah and the only major east-west mountain range in the United States. The Ashley National Forest lies within this unique setting, and includes Kings Peak - 13,498 feet in elevation - the highest point in Utah, and several other peaks above 13,000 feet. The beauty and majesty of these mountains towering above timber line are reflected in the crystal waters of numerous lakes dotting the basins and glades below. -- Services -- Information -- Minerals, oil & gas -- Recreation -- The High Uintas Primitive Area -- Water for the West -- Forage -- History -- Timber -- Wildlife -- The National Forests Lands of Many Uses -- Sheep Creek Canyon Geological Area presents an interesting study of sheer vertical walls and mammoth, colored rock spires. -Edward P.
