Below is my list of the 100 most significant named summits in the Wasatch - from Willard to Nebo. The actual list is well over 100 peaks including some sub-summits and noted features of a larger massif, but for simplicity's sake I've narrowed it down to the top 100 I feel are necessary to claim satisfactory "completion" of the Wasatch. The overall goal was to create a list that covers the main Wasatch Crest and includes the WURL and all of major high points in each massif/grouping. Because it's difficult to define exactly what constitutes a peak I took some liberty in making my list; in some cases the only named summit or "significant" summit of a mountain or massif is just the tallest peak in the formation, for example: Ogden peak is on the list, but Allen, De Moisy, Strawberry, and Middle are not. Other examples of this include Strongs Peak on the same massif, the Toad-Head in the Provo Massif, or Mollie's Nipple or Tithing Mountain on the Dry Mountain formation. At some point it may be interesting to compile a comprehensive list of every named summit, but for the time being here's my top 100. I didn't set out with this project in mind when I moved here, but inadvertently it took me 9 years and 363 days to run, hike, climb, or ski every peak in this list (and then some). I encourage others to try it as a challenging way to better get to know our little Wasatch. If you feel strongly that I've overlooked a peak or should reprioritize things, let me know.
*Please under no circumstance attempt to follow the GPX track - that would be very silly.
