Ensign Peak Park

Ensign Peak is a peak in the foothills near downtown Salt Lake City, Utah. It is approximately one mile north of the Utah State Capitol and sits almost directly behind it. On July 26, 1847, Brigham Young and other early members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints climbed this hill to survey the Salt Lake Valley. The hill has religious significance in the Church's history, as Brigham Young remarked on that day that the peak was a fitting place to "set up an ensign".Ensign Peak Advisors is an investment manager for assets of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and is named after Ensign Peak.
