| shphilby | Road trip  Date Climbed: Aug 18, 2009 | |
| Took my son on a 3 county high point road trip. This was the last peak of the trip. We started at poison creak and followed it up to the peak. We seen a heard of goats on the way up (I don’t think we would of seen them if my boy didn’t spot them). Hit the peak and played in the snow. | |

| mountaingazelle | North Ridge Date Climbed: Aug 17, 2009 | |
| There were a lot of hunters at Big John Flat so we decided to drive a little farther away. We followed the north ridge to Delano Peak. Saw and took photos of a herd of over fifty mountain goats along the way. It was a very windy day. The mailbox was in bad shape and will probably be carried away by the wind one of these days. | |

| Amazing area. It was wet and muddy and there were big gray coulds all around us. You could see where all the animals had been tromping in the meadows. It felt like a huge grassy hill on top. When we were on top, Greg looked at me and said, "Um, your hair is standing straight up." We ran as fast as we could off the top. | |

| Wasatchvoyage | Belknap and Delano run. Date Climbed: Aug 5, 2008 | |
| Drove early from Salt Lake and summitted Belknap, then continued south along the ridge to Delano. Beautiful 12,169 foot summit. The summit register is literally a mailbox complete with the wooden stand. I got chased off the summit by looming rain clouds to the west. | |

| We made the summit in between monsoon showers. Clouds parted briefly to allow views of Belknap. It is a beautiful area. | |

| Camped at Big John Flat, walked up the road for about a mile (was still closed past the camping area) and started walking up the ridge. What a beautiful and undiscovered area. After summiting, spent some time exploring the gorgeous meadows and saw a ton of mountain goats. | |

| apachedino | Goats Date Climbed: Jun 29, 2007 | |
| Scared 3 goats within 10 yards after cresting the summit. Followed them trying to get a good picture and saw another 38 grazing on the saddle just to the east of the summit. They backed off a bit at first, but when they realized I wasn't going to chase them they just grazed and let me watch for my summit break. | |

| weeds19 | Mounatin goats everywhere! Date Climbed: Sep 21, 2002 | |
| We hiked up from the nearby ski area and saw well over 50 mountain goats as we hiked across the treeless terrain towards the peak. The aspen were also in full color-changing mode which created a wonderful backdrop! | |

| We camped below the mountain by Griffith Creek. The meadows were full of gorgeous wildflowers. The weather was stormy on the first day. On the second day, we had a nice encounter with White Mountain Goats and made the summit as well. Great trip! The slideshow is here: Delano Peak hike | |

| Eleutheros | Here's to planning ahead Date Climbed: May 31, 2006 | |
| I try not to sign logs for peaks I haven't officially reached the top of, but I'll make an exception here. I decided on a whim one morning in Beaver (while driving to Denver from Los Angeles) to climb the highest peak around. All I had was directions from SP, no topo or GPS. Would have been ok except all the roads were closed within miles of any published trailheads. I wandered around the Tushar after hiking in to Big John Flat. I later discovered that I had stood at the base of peak and topped several neighboring summits. Without GPS or topo, the false summits common in the area make it real difficult to determine the highest point. But hey, great views all the way out to the Aquarius plateau and over 100 miles in every direction. Snowmelt made everything below 11,000 pretty soggy. I must have seen 300 elk and scores of deer. | |

| Tracy | route climbed: via trail from Puffer lake and the up south face (2 times) Date Climbed: Jul 9, 1997 | |
| I climbed this with Dave Frey and seven 14 to 15 year-old boy scouts including Derek Muaina, David Cowan, Nick Reed, Doug Bowman, Mike Workman, David Mounteer, and Joey Moore. We also climbed Mount Holly (11,999 feet) the same day and Dave Frey and I bagged Lake Peak the next morning. We were completing the 3 peaks hike as part of the Beaver High Adventure Base (BAHB). On July 17, 2001 I bagged the same three peaks again - same BHAB program, different hiking companions. | |
