Mummy Mountain

Mummy Mountain is a summit in the Spring Mountains within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest near Las Vegas, Nevada. The peak sits at approximately 11,500 feet and offers views across the desert landscape below.

The Spring Mountains formed through ancient volcanic activity and subsequent geological reshaping over millions of years. This region became a destination for hikers and nature seekers once recreation areas were developed in the 20th century.

Local residents and outdoor enthusiasts frequent the mountain trails for recreational activities while preserving its natural environment.

Bring sturdy hiking boots and prepare for quickly changing weather conditions at elevation. The terrain can be steep and rocky in sections, so take your time with navigation and watch your footing carefully.

The mountain gets its name from its distinctive profile, which resembles an Egyptian sarcophagus when viewed from certain angles. The recognizable head and foot-like formations make it stand out when seen from across the valley.
