Needle Mountain is a 6,620-foot (2,020-meter) elevation summit located in Capitol Reef National Park, in Wayne County of Utah, United States.[2] This remote erosional remnant is situated 16 miles (26 km) north-northwest of the park's visitor center, and 0.6 miles (0.97 km) east of Cathedral Mountain, in the Middle Desert of the park's North (Cathedral Valley) District. Cathedral Valley was so named in 1945 by Charles Kelly, first superintendent of Capitol Reef National Monument, because the valley's sandstone monoliths reminded early explorers of ornate, Gothic cathedrals, with fluted walls, alcoves, and pinnacles.[3] The free-standing Needle Mountain towers 240 feet (73 meters) above its surrounding terrain, which is within the Fremont River drainage basin. John C. Frémont's 1853 expedition passed through Cathedral Valley.[4]
