List Description

List Info

Boundary Peak is ranked in this list even though is has less than 300 feet of prominence, since it is the highest peak in Nevada any way you look at it.

This list has a very nice variety to it compared to many similar lists for other states, since there are ten very separate mountain ranges that have 11,000 foot peaks in Nevada. The White Mountains place Boundary Peak just over the state line, and Wheeler Peak, dominant summit of the Snake Range, joins it as the only 13,000 foot peaks in the state. All other ranges have high points in the 11,000 to 11,999 foot range, leaving a few Snake Range peaks (Moriah and a couple of satellites to Wheeler) as the only 12,000-footers in the state.
