Harris Mountain, Mountain summit in Spring Mountains, Nevada, USA.
Harris Mountain is a summit in the Spring Mountains Wilderness with an elevation of about 10,000 feet and a prominence of about 900 feet. The peak can be reached via multiple routes, with Harris Springs serving as an established climbing path.
A road started in the early 1930s near this peak was abandoned in 1935 when its final purpose became unclear. Traces of this incomplete project remain visible in the landscape today.
The peak draws climbers who share their experiences and preferred routes with one another. Harris Springs stands out as the most popular way to reach the summit among those who visit regularly.
Access to the mountain requires a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to reach the trailhead from Kyle Canyon Road, then a hiking portion to proceed. Plan your visit during warmer months when snow has melted and trails are more passable.
An alternative climbing route runs through Rainbow Canyon, offering a different experience than the main paths and demanding more vertical elevation gain. Many visitors miss this option when choosing their approach to the summit.
