Bull Mountain, an officially unnamed summit in northern Utah, has an elevation of 9,938 feet (3,029 m). It is the highest point in the Raft River Mountains and Box Elder County.[1] Bull Mountain is located southwest of Yost, Utah, west of Snowville, Utah and south of Malta, Idaho in the Raft River Division of the Minidoka Ranger District of Sawtooth National Forest.[3][4][5]

The northern slopes of Bull Mountain are drained by tributaries of the Raft River, a tributary of the Snake River, and the southern slopes drain into the Great Salt Lake. The peak can be reached via a long trail from the east or a 4-wheel drive road from the west.[6] The summit is very broad, but views from the mountain can encompass the Albion, Black Pine, and Wasatch mountains.
