Views of Notch Peak from the east, south, west and from near
the base of the mountain.
To get to Notch Peak drive west 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.
