Horse Ranch Mountain is the highest summit in Zion National Park, but - it is on the northern border, has no active trail to the summit, is rarely climbed and not particularly photogenic. That it is the highest point is covered in the Zion National Park article. A road goes close to the summit, but goes through posted private land and thus is not open to the public. All said, not notable. Ratagonia (talk) 02:39, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. The mountain is inherently notable for what it is: the highest summit in Zion National Park. See media coverage at http://www.cedarcityreview.com/articles.php?id=4609&art_title=Kolob_Canyons_a_Close_Retreat and at http://news.google.com/archivesearch?q=%22Horse+Ranch+Mountain%22 --Eastmain (talk) 03:40, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. Has secondary sources that show notability. Kevin (talk) 03:46, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Keep. As Zion's high point, it certainly is notable. Note that, of Utah's five national parks, this is the only one whose high point has an article (see List of U.S. National Parks by elevation). In my opinion, the only one of that group whose high point does not warrant an article is Capitol Reef, although one could be made for nearby Billings Pass.ArcticBartek (talk) 20:01, 17 June 2008 (UTC)
