The Tushar Mountains are the third highest mountain range in Utah after the Uinta Mountains and the La Sal Range. Located in the Fishlake National Forest, Delano Peak, 12,174 ft (3,711 m) NAVD 88, is the highest point in both Beaver and Piute counties and has a prominence of 4,689 ft (1,429 m). Delano Peak is named for Columbus Delano (1809–1896), Secretary of the Interior during the Grant administration. The Tushars receive an ample amount of snow annually even though they are situated within the rainshadow of the Sierra Mountain Range located in California and the Snake Range located in Nevada. The main part of the range is in Beaver, Piute and Sevier counties. The northwestern corner extends into the southeastern corner of Millard County and the southern end extends into the corners of Garfield and Iron counties.〔(Utah Dept. of Transportation, 2011, ''Utah Official Highway Map'' )〕 The Tushars are bounded roughly by I-15 to the west, I-70 to the north, US–89 to the east and U–20 to the south. U–153 crosses the southern part of the range between Beaver and Junction.〔 ==Prominent peaks== *Mount Belknap 12,119 feet (3,693.87 meters) *Mount Baldy 12,090 feet (3,685.03 meters) *Mount Brigham 11,709 feet (3,568.90 meters) *Edna Peak 11,654 feet (3,552.14 meters) *Copper Belt Peak 11,358 feet (3,461.92 meters) *Circleville Mountain 11,338 ft (3,455.82 meters) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Tushar Mountains」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
