A popular trail passes over its summit (elevation {{convert|9716|ft|m}}), accessible from four different trailheads to the north, south, and east. It is often referred to by locals as Ben Lomond Peak, Mt. Ben Lomond, and Ben Lomond Mountain. The USGS has it labeled as Ben Lomond on maps.[3] Ben Lomond stands out along the Wasatch Front because the mountain range appears to run east and west along the Wasatch Range, while most mountains appear to run south and north. Two miles northwest of Ben Lomond is Willard Peak, with an elevation of {{convert|9764|ft|m}}. Northwest of Willard Peak is Inspiration Point. A dirt road travels {{convert|14|mi|km}} from Mantua, Utah to Inspiration Point. The road is usually not passable until July due to deep snow that resists melting due to the area's northern exposure. Atop Inspiration Point on a clear day, one can see Salt Lake City to the south, Willard Bay and the Great Salt Lake to the west, and the city of Logan, Utah to the northeast. From Inspiration Peak one can hike or bike to the summit of Ben Lomond, and then continue east to a trailhead on North Ogden Pass. The trail is listed as one of the top mountain bike rides in Utah. The distance from the North Ogden trailhead to the summit of Ben Lomond is approximately {{convert|9|mi|km}}. Ben Lomond was named after the mountain Ben Lomond in the Scottish Highlands.[4] Mary Wilson Montgomery, an early settler, thought the mountain range resembled the Munro.[5] According to some sources, the Paramount Pictures logo, known as Majestic Mountain, was modeled after Ben Lomond. It is said that William W. Hodkinson, the founder of Paramount and a native of the Ogden area, initially drew the image on a napkin during a meeting in 1914.[6][7] References1. ^1 {{cite peakbagger|pid=5438|name=Ben Lomond, Utah|accessdate=2009-06-07}} 2. ^{{cite gnis |id=1438587 |name=Ben Lomond |accessdate=2011-05-07}} 3. ^{{cite summitpost |id=152185 |name=Ben Lomond |accessdate=2016-04-22}} 4. ^{{cite news | url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=sa9SAAAAIBAJ&sjid=c38DAAAAIBAJ&pg=6741%2C5066695 | title=You name it - there's a town for it | work=The Deseret News | date=Jan 22, 1977 | accessdate=2015-10-18 | author=Van Atta, Dale | pages=15}} 5. ^{{cite web|url=http://www.fs.fed.us/wcnf/unit/ogden/benlomon.htm |title=Ben Lomond Trail information |publisher=United States Forest Service |accessdate=2009-06-07 |deadurl=yes |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20080924203242/http://www.fs.fed.us/wcnf/unit/ogden/benlomon.htm |archivedate=2008-09-24 }} 6. ^{{cite news |first=Lynn |last=Arave |title=Paramount's logo has given millions a peek at the Ogden mountain |newspaper=Deseret News |date=September 8, 2008 |url=http://www.deseretnews.com/article/700257111/Paramounts-logo-has-given-millions-a-peek-at-Ogden-peak.html |accessdate=2011-05-08}} 7. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.straightdope.com/columns/020104.html |title=The Straight Dope on the Paramount Logo |publisher=The Straight Dope |accessdate=2011-05-08 |archiveurl= https://web.archive.org/web/20080813010957/http://www.straightdope.com/columns/020104.html| archivedate=August 13, 2008| deadurl=no}} External links{{commons category|Ben Lomond Mountain (Utah)}}
