About Wasatch Range
The Wasatch Range is a prominent mountain range in north-central Utah, running north-south for approximately 160 miles. It is characterized by rugged, steep terrain, with numerous high peaks, glacial cirques, and alpine lakes. The range was formed by the uplift of the Earth's crust and features a mix of igneous, sedimentary, and metamorphic rock formations. The Wasatch Range serves as the dramatic eastern backdrop to the Salt Lake Valley and is home to several major ski resorts, including Alta, Snowbird, Park City, and Deer Valley.
