Description

Explorer Peak is set within the High Uintas Wilderness on land managed by Ashley National Forest. It is situated in the Uinta Mountains which are a subset of the Rocky Mountains, and it ranks as the 38th-highest summit in Utah.[1] Topographic relief is significant as the west aspect rises Шаблон:Convert in less than one-half mile and the north aspect rises Шаблон:Convert above Crater Lake in one-third mile. Neighbors include Dead Horse Peak three miles to the northwest and Mount Lovenia three miles northeast. Precipitation runoff from this mountain drains west to Fall Creek and east into tributaries of the Lake Fork River. The landform's toponym was officially adopted in 1957 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to honor the Explorer Scouts.[2]
