Also, 3 mi east in the Great Salt Lake, an outlying peak is named Dolphin Island.

The Hogup Mountains have a central section containing the three major peaks; the mountain range narrows both northerly and southerly into the Great Salt Lake Desert, but the northeast does have another small 7 mi ridgeline that trends exactly NNW x SSE.

In the center-north lies the range highpoint, Tangent Peak, 7,047 feet (2,148 m).

[1] The south of the Hogup Mountains can be accessed from Lakeside, 14 mi ESE, though this route passes through railroad private property.

The north of the range can be accessed legally from Kelton; also Park Valley on Utah State Route 30.
