Peak 9001 has been known as either Heritage Mountain or Lion Head for a long time dating back at least many decades and from several sources.
If you want to see some of the sources, all Kelsey's books dating back to 1983 (and as late as 1997) use the name Lion Head on all the maps (see the Provo Peak map in any edition of the Utah Mountaineering Guide) and Utah Valley Trails from 1978 uses the name Heritage Mountain (see pg. 51). I've heard both names used locally, but Lion Head seems the most common name used in more recent decades.
I've read that it is called "Lions Head", and I've heard that name from some of the locals. The wastach range south page, here on SP, used to call it "Lions Head" (in connection with Maple Mountain), but that is now updated to "Lion Head". So "Lion Head" it is, I guess!!!
Thanks for putting up the page.
PS > I must admit I think I recognize someone in many of the pictures. :)
Great page---I'll have to get up and do this one here in the next few weeks. I noticed a typo in the first paragraph---one instance calls it peak 8753 and later it is called 8752. Thanks for the page!
