Ensign Peak

Ensign Peak

Ensign Peak is a peak in the foothills near downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. It is approximately 1 mile north of the Utah State Capitol and sits almost directly behind it. On July 26, 1847 Brigham Young and other members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints climbed this hill and gave it its present name. The hill has religious significance in LDS Church history and in its symbolism. [ Walker, Ronald W.
