Rising 2,300 feet above the Great Salt Lake, the Lakeside Mountains are a great way to view the largest endorheic lake in the Western Hemisphere. The lack of vegetation also provides ample views of surrounding smaller mountain ranges and open valleys. Black Mountain Road is an occasionally maintained dirt road terminating at a group of cell towers. Although there are no obstacles, the steeper grades and loose dirt and gravel surface encourage the use of low range. Camping is not found along this road.
