The Raft River Mountains are a mountain range in northern Box Elder County, Utah, United States.[1][2] The mountains are located in the Raft River Division of the Minidoka Ranger District of the Sawtooth National Forest. The highest point is Bull Mountain, near the Dunn Benchmark, at 9,925 ft (3,025 m), and the ghost town of Yost is on the north-central slopes.[3][4][5] Tributaries of the Raft River drain the northern slopes of the range to the Snake River then Columbia River and Pacific Ocean, while the southern slopes drain to the Great Salt Lake.
