Notch Peak
Delta, Utah

Millard County
3,000 foot sheer cliffs.
Notch Peak Summit : 9.725'

Views of Notch Peak from the east, south, west and from near the base of the mountain.

To get to Notch Peak drive east down Highway 6-50 from Delta, Utah.
After Skull Rock Pass, turn right or north at the Painter Springs Road, for a short cut, continue until around mile marker 33, this will cut out about a half mile of dirt road. Follow the road west down the Tule Valley, The Confusion Range will be on your left (West) and the House Range will be on your right (East)

There is no sign, but once you can start seeing the North Face of Notch Peak, and the entrance to West Sawtooth Canyon, take the next dirt road east or right.

There is a small rock quarry near the entrance, just follow the rocky road toward Notch Peak. This road requires a bit of clearance for your vehicle. Once you get to the river bed, the difficulty increases, you might want to have a few friends walk in front of the vehicle to fix the road and guide your wheels, it wouldn't be fun to get stuck here.

There is no water in West Sawtooth Canyon.
