AN ACT
To designate a mountain in the State of Utah as ``Miracle Mountain''.
Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the
United States of America in Congress assembled,
SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.
This Act may be cited as the ``Miracle Mountain Designation Act''.
SEC. 2. FINDINGS.
Congress finds as follows:
(1) On September 13, 2018, the Bald Mountain Fire burned
nearly 20,000 acres of land in Utah.
(2) Elk Ridge City, located in Utah County, was nearly the
victim of this fire.
(3) Suddenly, the fire halted its progression and, instead
of burning into Elk Ridge City, stayed behind the mountain and
spared the city.
(4) Congress, in acknowledgment of this event, believes
this mountain holds special significance to the residents of
Elk Ridge City and surrounding communities.
(5) The presently unnamed peak has been referred to as
``Miracle Mountain'' by many residents since the fire that
nearly went into Elk Ridge City.
SEC. 3. MIRACLE MOUNTAIN.
(a) Designation.--The mountain in the State of Utah, located at 39
59' 02N, 111 40' 12W, shall be known and designated as ``Miracle
Mountain''.
(b) References.--Any reference in a law, map, regulation, document,
record, or other paper of the United States to the mountain described

Mountain''.
