Arc Dome, Mountain summit in Nye County, Nevada
Arc Dome rises to an elevation of 11,780 feet as the highest mountain peak of the Toiyabe Range in northwestern Nye County, Nevada.
Military forces installed a heliograph station on Arc Dome during the late 1800s to establish communication networks across the Nevada territory.
The North Ridge trail leads hikers through diverse ecological zones, from desert scrub to alpine environments typical of the Great Basin region.
Visitors can access the mountain through Columbine Campground, which serves as the primary trailhead for ascending to the summit without specialized vehicles.
A World War II bomber aircraft crashed into the mountain slopes during adverse weather conditions in 1945, leaving historical traces.
