The Beehive State could easily have been nicknamed the "Mountain State."

That's because mountains can be found in all of the state's 29 counties. (Although Colorado has taller mountains, it contains a vast eastern plain that occupies a third of its land mass.)

There are almost 250 named mountain peaks in Utah that exceed 10,000 feet in height and many more that lack names. Kings Peak — Utah's highest point — sits at 13,528 feet above sea level.

The state's mountains are a critical part of the environment. For example, the mountains are watersheds and store snowpack, making Utah much more inhabitable than it would otherwise be as the nation's second-driest state.

They also help create Utah's "greatest snow on Earth" and offer other recreational opportunities, such as hiking and biking.
