Ben Lomond Mountain
Ben Lomond, just north of Ogden, Utah, is a peak in the northern portion of the Wasatch Mountains. A popular trail passes over its summit (elevation 9,716 feet (2,961 m)), accessible from four different trailheads to the north, south, and east.
It is often incorrectly referred to by locals as Ben Lomond Peak, Mt. Ben Lomond, or Ben Lomond Mountain. The usage Mount Ben Lomond is technically a redundancy since the prefix Ben – added to many Scottish mountains including Ben Lomond after which this mountain was named – actually means mount. That is why Scottish mountains whose names begin with Ben are never preceded by Mount. The United States Geological Survey labels it as Ben Lomond on its maps.
