 | High in Utah by Dan Miller, Michael R. Weibel
If you measured the highest point in each county, which of the fifty states would have the highest average elevation? You probably didn`t say Utah, but in fact the average elevation of the state`s county high points is approximately 11,222 feet (Colorado is second at 10,971 feet). Most, but not all, of Utah`s high peaks grow out of a series of mountain ranges that form a backbone from north to south through the middle of the state. Surprisingly, most can also be climbed in a day, and during the warm months climbing gear may be unnecessary. Some summits are even attainable by car. High in Utah is quite consciously a book for peak baggers, complete with a checklist and elevations. Summits range from Kings Peak, Utah`s highest at 13,528 feet, to the unnamed peak in Rich County, a mere 9,255 feet. In addition to the county high points, this book also has four classic climbs: Mr. Olympus in Salt Lake County; Mt. Timpanogos above Provo; Notch Peak in the House Range west of Delta; and Wellsville Cone, Cache Valley`s western landmark. AUTHOR: Dan Miller, Michael R. Weibel
