Y Mountain
Y Mountain is mountain located directly east of Brigham Young University (BYU) in Provo, Utah, United States. The Slide Canyon/Y Mountain Trail leads to a large block Y located 1.2 miles (1.9 km) from a parking area at the mountain's base. This hillside letter was built over a hundred years ago as the insignia for BYU. For years the trail to the Y has been one of the most hiked trails in Utah Valley and provides a scenic view of Provo and Orem, the rest of the many cities in Utah Valley and Utah Lake. The trail is also regularly used by hikers, bikers, paragliders and hunters to access the backcountry in the Slide Canyon area.
The monument has been vandalized several times in its history.
==Concrete sign==
The large white Y on the side of the mountain has become the nationally recognized insignia for BYU and the reason why BYU is often called "the Y". It is made of concrete and is 380 feet high and 130 feet wide (116 by 40 m). The Y is larger than the Hollywood Sign in Los Angeles.
There are 14 strands of lights placed around the perimeter of the Y, which are lit five times a year by the Intercollegiate Knights. It is lit for Freshman Orientation, Homecoming, Y Days, and graduation in April and August. When the Y is lit, club members are selected to guard the Y to ensure the generator keeps the lights on until nearly midnight. The same volunteer guards assist the university grounds employees with the setup of the lights (and their removal several days later) and remain on duty to protect against vandalism as long as the lights are in place.〔
