The Valley Mountains is a north–south trending range, narrowing at its north and south ends. The range is about 9 miles (14 km) at its widest, with two ridgelines, from the center northwards, on the east and west; from the center to the south, the ridgelines merge into a small mountain region.
The range's highest point — 11,928 feet (3,636 m) — is Mount Nebo, a triple peak rising above Nephi, at the southern end of the range. In some places the mountains rise steeply from the valley's base elevation of 4,330 feet (1,320 m) to over 11,000 feet (3,400 m).
In late December 2003, a large snowstorm dumped more than 18 inches (46 cm) of snow across the valley, with up to 40 inches (100 cm) in high bench areas and up to 100 inches (250 cm) in the Wasatch Range. From December 25–29, the official station saw 21.9 inches (56 cm).
