The story
Wildcat Mountain is a peak in the northern part of the U.S. state of Utah. Approximately 52 miles west of Tooele and 17 miles south of I-80, the mountain is just over 5,200 feet high and once played host to a Cold War–era bombing target field at its southeastern foot. Wildcat Mountain is the only significant promontory in the historic Wendover range, what was part of the Wendover Air Force Base. During a study in 1978, feral horses and prairie falcons were found at the site.
