Officially Labeled on Maps: Cliff Point

A sometimes victim of semantics is the “peak” along the Henrys Fork Massif officially labeled on maps as “Cliff Point.”  Depending on who you talk to, Cliff Point is a Utah 13er or it’s not. A "13er" is a mountain peak with an elevation of at least 13,000 feet but less than 14,000 feet.  In the opinion of David Rose who wrote the book “Utah Thirteeners,” Cliff Point unquestionably is a Utah 13er – ranked, from tallest to shortest, as number 18 of 21 Utah 13ers.  As such Cliff Point is absolutely a worthy objective to climb.  

The map above can be found with the on-line tool called ACME Mapper 2.2 with the “map” view selected rather than either the “World Topo,” or “USA Topo” view. See ACME Mapper: Cliff Point
