19. Sugarloaf Mountain, Salt Lake County, 11,051.

(*) Nebo North is the 51st tallest peak in State of Utah.

(**) There are also four tall unnamed peaks near the Timpanogos peaks. One summit is 11,441. The others are 11,383, 11,347 and 11,288.

NOTE: New calibrations in elevation made recently by the National Geodetic Survey, in conjunction with the USGS, technically mean that the Wasatch's highest peaks are now 4 to 5 feet taller than these measurements. But maps are not being revised because of cost. For more information, go online to: www.ngs.noaa.gov and click on "Program Initiatives."
