DELANO PEAK

'Delano Peak' is the highest point in the Tushar Mountains of south-central Utah. The Tushars are the third-highest range in the state, after the Uinta Mountains and the La Sal Range, though Delano itself is surpassed in height by at least thirty-one other Utah peaks. Delano is 12,169 feet (3,709 meters) high, and is snow-capped for much of the year.
Located in the Fishlake National Forest, Delano Peak is the highest point of both Beaver and Piute counties.
The mountain is named for Columbus Delano (1809–1896), Secretary of the Interior during the Grant administration.
