Currant Mountain, Mountain summit in White Pine County, Nevada, United States.
Currant Mountain is a summit in the White Pine Range, topped by three limestone spires that form its distinctive crown. The peak sits at an elevation of about 11,500 feet above sea level.
Native American tribes harvested wild currant berries on the surrounding slopes, giving the mountain its name. This seasonal gathering practice shaped how people related to the landscape for generations.
The peak stands within the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, near the Duckwater Shoshone tribal lands, preserving both natural resources and indigenous heritage.
The southern ridge approach to the summit is steep and demands solid navigation skills and mountain gear. Visitors should come prepared for harsh weather and exposed terrain.
The mountain maintains a true isolation distance of 52.79 miles from its nearest higher neighbor, South Schell Peak, in northeastern Nevada.
