Delano Peak

Delano Peak is a mountain summit located where Beaver and Piute counties meet in Utah, standing at approximately 3,710 meters high. This elevation makes it the tallest point in both counties and shapes the skyline of the region.

The mountain was named after Columbus Delano, who served as U.S. Secretary of the Interior during Ulysses S. Grant's presidency. The naming reflects the era when the region was being mapped and officially documented.

The summit serves as a gathering place for regional mountaineers who maintain a visitor register inside a metal box at the top. Those who reach the peak can read entries from previous hikers and leave their own messages.

The climb from Big John Flat follows a clear trail and takes about two to four hours to reach the summit under normal conditions. Starting early is wise, and be prepared for sudden weather changes due to the elevation.

The summit area regularly hosts a mountain goat population that sometimes exceeds thirty individuals. This herd is visible and offers visitors opportunities to observe wildlife during the climb.
