Dromedary Peak is an mountain summit located in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States.
Description Dromedary Peak is located southeast of downtown Salt Lake City in the Twin Peaks Wilderness on land managed by Wasatch–Cache National Forest. The peak is set in the Wasatch Range which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's south slope drains to Little Cottonwood Creek, whereas the north slope drains to Big Cottonwood Creek, and both creeks flow west to the Jordan River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises above Little Cottonwood Canyon in 1.5 mile (2.4 km). This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. The descriptive name is because the peak's shape resembles a dromedary camel when viewed from a certain angle.John W. Van Cott, Utah Place Names: A Comprehensive Guide to the Origins of Geographic Names, University of Utah Press, 1990, , p. 116.
