Francis Peak, elevation 9,560 feet (2,910 m), was named in honor of an early American pioneer, Esther Charlotte Emily Weisbrodt Francis,[3] who contributed to the colonization of the Morgan Valley in Morgan county in Utah.

The unpaved roads are mostly one-lane, steep, switchbacked and cliff-hanging/rocky in spots, perhaps best handled by smaller 4-wheel drive vehicles.

Download your GPS plan beforehand since cell service on the mountain is sketchy, and there are unmarked side roads.

Camping sites, trails, small ponds, wildlife, and great vistas are part of this rugged natural setting.

Atop the peak are domed radar towers constructed in 1959 and operated by the Federal Aviation Administration and Air National Guard.
