Mount Belknap is a 12143feet mountain summit in the Tushar Mountains of Utah, United States.
Mount Belknap is set in the Fishlake National Forest on the boundary that Beaver County shares with Piute County.[2] It ranks as the second-highest peak in the Tushar Mountains,[3] second-highest in each county and 73rd-highest in the state.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into the Sevier River watershed via Blue Lake Creek, Fish Creek, and Beaver Creek.[3] Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2700abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Fish Creek in one mile (1.6 km). Mount Belknap is named after William Worth Belknap (1829–1890), the United States Secretary of War who served under President Ulysses S. Grant.[5] This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.[2]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Belknap is located in a dry summer subarctic climate zone (Köppen Dsc) with cold snowy winters and mild summers.[6]
