Cable Mountain is a 6,940-foot (2,120 m) elevation Navajo Sandstone summit located in Zion National Park, in Washington County of southwest Utah, United States.

It is set on the east side of the North Fork Virgin River which drains precipitation runoff from this mountain.

This desert climate receives less than 10 inches (250 millimeters) of annual rainfall, and snowfall is generally light during the winter.

[5] The Cable Mountain Draw Works was built by David Flanigan beginning in 1901, although he had first proposed the system as a teenager in 1885.

The system fulfilled an 1863 prophecy made by Brigham Young that timber would descend from the cliffs "like a hawk flying."
