Mount Beulah is a 12557adj=midNaNadj=mid mountain summit located in Summit County, Utah, United States.

Description

Mount Beulah is set within the High Uintas Wilderness on land managed by Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest. It is situated in the Uinta Mountains which are a subset of the Rocky Mountains, and it ranks as the 55th-highest summit in Utah.[2] Neighbors include The Cathedral two miles to the southwest, Yard Peak 3.3 miles to the south-southwest, and Dead Horse Peak is 3.5 miles to the south. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's west slope drains to the Bear River, whereas the east slope drains to the Blacks Fork. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2500abbr=offNaNabbr=off in one mile from glacial U-shaped valleys on either side. This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.

Climate

Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Beulah is located in a subarctic climate zone with cold snowy winters and mild summers.[5] Tundra climate characterizes the summit and highest slopes.
