Gobblers Knob
North-rim Wasatch summit on the divide between Big Cottonwood and Mill Creek canyons. The standard line is Butler Fork in Big Cottonwood to Baker Pass, then up the south ridge — roughly 8 miles round trip and about 3,100 feet of gain, with a short off-trail finish; the peak is also reached from Mill Creek via Bowman Fork and Alexander Basin. The name comes from a failed summit turkey ranch whose birds were picked off by bobcats; it was made official by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in 1964.
Elevation: 10,246 ft
