About Valentine Peak

Valentine Peak is a summit of 8,043 feet on Bureau of Land Management land in the Color Country District of southern Utah, about 2.4 miles from the town of Parowan. The most comfortable time to go is late spring through early fall. Typical averages from a nearby weather station in Cedar City run from highs around 69°F in May to about 77°F in September, and the peak sits higher than that station, so temperatures on top run cooler. Two trails start close by: the Megawatt Trail, about 1.6 miles away, and the Valentine Peak Trail, about 1.8 miles away. For an overnight, Yankee Meadow Campground lies about 4.4 miles off, and the climbing at Parowan Canyon is about 4.9 miles away.
