Point of the Mountain

Traverse Mountains, a mountain range that separates Salt Lake Valley and Utah Valley in the U.S. state of Utah.

Salt Lake County, Utah

Because there are only four major entrances to the Salt Lake Valley (to the north, east, and west of Salt Lake City proper as well as far to the south at Point of the Mountain), routes for long distance travel through the valley are mainly confined to an east-west strip through Salt Lake City and South Salt Lake and a north-south strip near the Jordan River.

Salt Lake Valley

They include the Point of the Mountain to the south via the Jordan Narrows, a gap in the Traverse Mountains, narrow entrances between the Great Salt Lake and Oquirrh Mountains to the northwest and the Great Salt Lake and the Wasatch Mountains to the north, and several canyons to the east including Parley's Canyon and Emigration Canyon.
