Mount Nebo towers above the cultivated fields outside of the town of Nephi, Utah. You see it for miles as you travel along US 89 from Gunnison. It is one of those landmarks that lets you know you are nearing the Wasatch front; that line of rugged, massive mountains that border Utah Valley, Salt Lake Valley, and the cities of Bountiful and Ogden that are nestled between the Wasatch and the Great Salt Lake, north of Salt Lake City.
