The Ensign Peak

Ensign Peak is a small hill overlooking Salt Lake City, Utah, historically significant to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS Church). In 1847, Mormon pioneers ascended the hill to watch the sunrise, symbolizing their hope and new beginning in the West. Today, it's a state park offering panoramic views of Salt Lake City, and it also holds financial importance, as the LDS Church has accumulated substantial investment assets. The peak's historic and financial roles make it notable both as a symbol of pioneering spirit and as part of the church’s modern growth.
