| | The Wasatch Front |
 | | The word, Wasatch, comes from the Native American Ute Indians language meaning mountain pass, which is an applicable word for this mountainous area. |
 | | Wasatch is a segment of the south-central Rocky Mountains, extending southward for about 250 miles (400 km), from the bend of the Bear River in southeastern Idaho, U.S., to beyond Mount Nebo, near the town of Nephi in north-central Utah. |
 | | South and east of Salt Lake City are many peaks that surpass 11,000 feet (3,400 m), including Mount Timpanogos (12,008 feet [3,660 m]), the highest point in the Wasatch. |
