Ben Lomond Peak near Ogden, Utah is probably the most famous of the northern Wasatch peaks. It stands north of Ogden in prominent fashion and is very popular with the community. A couple of well-maintained, but long trails lead to its summit.
The peak supposedly was what Paramount Pictures' logo was designed from -- incidentally, its parent Viacom once owned several broadcast stations in Utah, including Utah's CBS affiliate KUTV, before CBS Corporation was spun off with the broadcast elements (among other properties) in 2006.
