Rishel Peak is a 6,212-foot elevation (1,893 m) mountain summit located in Tooele County, Utah, United States.

Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,000 feet (610 meters) above the Bonneville Salt Flats in 1.5 mile.

This landform's toponym was officially adopted in 1960 by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names to honor William D. "Bill" Rishel (1869–1947), who in 1907 was the first to test the suitability of the salt flat for driving by taking a Pierce-Arrow onto its surface.

[4][6][7] Rishel Peak is set in the Great Salt Lake Desert which has hot summers and cold winters.

Due to the high elevation and aridity, temperatures drop sharply after sunset.
