Kane county has 392 peaks recorded (http://listsofjohn.com/PeakStats/search.php?sort=&c=13) that range between 3,920 and 10,080 feet above sea level. But not all of these are part of a "mountain range", many are isolated like Castle Rock (below).

Other peaks lay among true mountain ranges like Clear Creek Mountain which has elevations ranging from 6,418 to 8,123 feet.

Buckskin Mountain runs along the border of utah and Arizona, and its peak also called Buckskin Mountain, is just over the border in Arizona at 6,668 feet. The peak of this mountain is not what people are interested in, instead they come to this area for the long slot canyon at its base which may be the longest of its kind in the world!

Moccasin Mountains are also along the border of Utah and Arizona but are mostly in Arizona. Only the northeast portion of the mountain is in Utah and ends where the Coral Pink Sand Dunes begin.
