Running for some length of 150 miles in northeast Utah, and 30 miles wide, the Uinta mountains provide a picture perfect view with its high peaks, green meadows, rivers, numerous lakes, alpine forests and a rich flora and fauna. It sources some of the well-known rivers in the region including the Bear, the Weber, the Colorado, the Green River. Its highest peak, the King's Peak, may well be at a height of 13,528 feet, but many of the mountain tops are either broad or flat.
