Ibapah

12,101 ft

Ibapah, located in the Intermountain West mountain range, is a prominent peak with an elevation of 12,087 feet (3,684 meters). This majestic mountain, situated in Utah, showcases a stunning example of the region's natural beauty. Ibapah offers a challenging climb for mountaineers, with its rugged terrain and rocky slopes. Its size and elevation make it an attractive destination for experienced climbers seeking a thrilling adventure in the wilderness.

During the winter season, Ibapah experiences a significant snowpack range, which adds another layer of difficulty to the ascent. Snow accumulation can vary greatly each year, and mountaineers should be prepared for challenging conditions, including snow drifts and icy surfaces. The mountain's snowpack provides a vital water source for the surrounding area during the warmer months as it gradually melts, feeding numerous creeks and rivers that flow from its slopes.

The name "Ibapah" has historical significance as it originates from the Western Shoshone language, meaning "white clay water." This name finds its roots in the mountain's creeks and rivers that may have a unique milky appearance due to the presence of clay minerals in the water. Ibapah is also associated with intriguing legends and lore, passed down through generations. Exploring these stories adds a touch of mystique to the mountaineering experience, connecting adventurers to the rich cultural heritage of the area.
