Description

Mount Raymond is set along the boundary of the Mount Olympus Wilderness on land managed by Wasatch National Forest, with Salt Lake City 11 miles to the west and Park City 11 miles to the east. It is situated in the Wasatch Range which is a subset of the Rocky Mountains. Neighbors include Mount Olympus four miles to the west, Kesler Peak three miles southeast, and line parent Gobblers Knob is 1.5 mile to the northeast. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's north slope drains to Mill Creek, whereas the south slope drains to Big Cottonwood Creek. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 3,640 feet (1,110 meters) above Big Cottonwood Canyon in 1.5 mile. This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names.
