Jul 05, 2017 — This being my first visit to the Tushar Mountains, I didn't want to attempt the tallest of the range, Belknap and Baldy, since I had very little knowledge of the area and those peaks seemed to still have snow. Instead, I parked on the side of the road and headed up the west slope of Delano Peak. The wide open vistas basically the whole way up left me in awe of the and bright green meadows and white high peaks. Delano Peak posed little difficulty, and I headed south along the ridge toward Mt. Holly. The ridgeline was of course beautiful as well, and a social trail led me away from the north ridge and instead up Mt. Holly's west slope. On the way back from the summit, I located the Mt. Holly Trail and followed it back to the road. I followed the road north back to my car.
In hindsight, I'd say maybe taking the Mt. Holly Trail first (doing the loop conter-clockwise) would make this easier, since finding the Mt. Holly Trail isn't super obvious.
