Boundary Peak

Boundary Peak rises to an elevation of 4007 meters as the highest point in Nevada, featuring steep slopes and rocky terrain at its upper sections.

The peak received its name during the 1800s due to its location near the California-Nevada border, which led to survey negotiations through 1980.

The mountain attracts climbers pursuing the goal of reaching the highest points across different states, forming part of the peak-bagging community objectives.

Access to the summit requires navigation of two main routes leading to a saddle 700 meters below the peak, followed by a steep scramble through loose rock.

Wild horses roam the long flat ridge between saddles near Boundary Peak, while ancient Bristlecone Pines grow along the northern slopes near the trailhead.
