The peak (pronouced deh-lah-no), is the highest point in the Tushar Mountains and in both Beaver and Piute counties. The Tushar Mountains are the third-highest range in the state, after the Uinta Mountains and the La Sal Range, though Delano Peak itself is surpassed in height by at least thirty-one other Utah peaks. The mountain is named for Columbus Delano (1809–1896), Secretary of the Interior during the Grant administration. [5] Delano Peak is located just east of Beaver, and can be seen clearly from Interstate 70 and Interstate 15.
