All Twenty-Nine: My Journey to the Highest Point of Every Utah County

Utah is a land of stunning contrasts: a desert state—among the most arid in the U.S.—yet also a mountain state, renowned for having the greatest snow on earth. While much of the state consists of dry plateaus, semi-arid basins, and deserts, each of its 29 counties is home to mountains. Indeed, Utah’s county highpoints boast the highest average elevation nationwide. The well-known Wasatch Range hosts numerous ski resorts, while the Henry Mountain Range is so remote, it was the last mountain range in the contiguous United States to be explored and mapped. The Uinta Mountain Range, the highest east-west-running range in the lower 48 states, is home to 21 peaks towering above 13,000 feet. Every corner of Utah offers an unforgettable outdoor experience, blending adventure and beauty in perfect harmony. Join me as I climb the highest natural point in each of its 29 counties, discovering the wonders of Utah along the way.
