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 (3709 meters) high, and is snow-capped for much of the year. Hikers can usually reach its summit from mid-June until October. One way distance from trailhead to Delano's summit is about ten miles.
