Mount Millicent is a {{convert|10452|ft|meter|adj=mid|-elevation|abbr=off|sp=us}} summit in Salt Lake County, Utah, United States.

Description

Mount Millicent is located {{convert|20.|mi|km}} southeast of downtown Salt Lake City at the Brighton Ski Resort in the Wasatch–Cache National Forest. The peak is set in the Wasatch Range which is a subset of the Rocky Mountains. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains into headwaters of Big Cottonwood Creek. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises {{convert|1700.|ft|m|abbr=off|sp=us}} above Brighton in one mile (1.6 km). The mountain is composed of granodiorite of the igneous Alta stock. This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. The mountain was listed and depicted as one of the principal peaks of the Rockies in a book published in 1916.[https://books.google.com/books?id=NOhYAAAAMAAJ&dq=Mt.+Millicent+utah&pg=PA31 Edwin Legrand Sabin, The Peaks of the Rockies], Carson-Harper, 1916, pages 31, 35.
