Timber Top Mountain is an 8055feet mountain summit located in the Kolob Canyons section of Zion National Park, in Washington County, Utah, United States. Its nearest higher neighbor is Horse Ranch Mountain, 3.9miles to the north-northeast, Nagunt Mesa is immediately north, and Tucupit Point is situated 2.8miles to the north. Timber Top Mountain is the second-highest peak in Zion Park, following only Horse Ranch Mountain. Walls of Navajo sandstone encircle this mesa-like feature, ranging from 400-ft high on along the south side, up to 2,000 feet on the north aspect. Kolob Arch is set on the lower southeast cliff of the mountain, and Shuntavi Butte forms the west tip of the mountain. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Timber Creek, which is within the Virgin River drainage basin.
