Deep Creek Mountains
Template:Short description Template:Infobox mountain
The Deep Creek Range, often referred to as the Deep Creek Mountains (Goshute: Pi'a-roi-ya-bi),[1] are a mountain range in the Great Basin located in extreme western Tooele and Juab counties in Utah, United States.[2] The range trends north–south (with a curl to the west at the southern end, 16% of range in White Pine County, Nevada[3]), and is composed of granite in its central highest portion. The valley to the east is Snake Valley, and to the west is Deep Creek Valley. Nearby communities include Callao, Utah to the east and the community of Ibapah and the lands of the Confederated Tribes of the Goshute Reservation to the west.
The highest point in the Deep Creek Range is Ibapah Peak, an ultra prominent peak, which rises to Template:Convert. Other peaks include Haystack Peak at Template:Convert and Red Mountain at Template:Convert. The range is the source of several perennial streams and supports a diverse coniferous forest, with an "island" of alpine tundra on the highest summits. The range has a vertical relief of Template:Convert above the salt flats of the Great Salt Lake Desert lying to the northeast and rises about Template:Convert above the semiarid plains to the west.
