Grandeur Peak is a short out-and-back hike in Utah's Uinta-Wasatch-Cache National Forest, within the Salt Lake Ranger District.

Typical July averages at the nearby Alta weather station run to a high of 73°F and a low of 50°F, and the station sits about 420 feet higher than the peak, so temperatures on top run a bit warmer.
