Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,900 feet (884 meters) above Snake Creek in 1.5 mile (2.4 km).

From Guardsman Pass, reaching the top involves 2.2 miles (round-trip) of hiking along a portion of the Great Western Trail with 1,015 feet of elevation gain.

[6] The summit provides views of the Brighton Lakes area, the Uinta Mountains, Heber Valley, and Mount Timpanogos.

[1] This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[3] and has been recorded in publications since at least 1891.

[8] Due to its altitude, it receives precipitation all year, as snow in winter, and as thunderstorms in summer.
