North Schell Peak, Mountain peak in White Pine County, Nevada, US.

North Schell Peak is the highest mountain in the Schell Creek Range of White Pine County, Nevada, reaching 3,622 metres (11,883 ft). Its summit lies 19 miles (31 km) northeast of Ely, inside the High Schells Wilderness of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. The peak is the ninth-highest in Nevada and the fifth-most topographically prominent in the state.

North Schell Peak lies within the High Schells Wilderness of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, 19 miles northeast of Ely. The Schell Creek Range and its creek were named during the 19th-century exploration and settlement of eastern Nevada; the range remained sparsely populated, used mainly as passage for travellers and ranchers.

The peak lies within the High Schells Wilderness of Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, 19 miles northeast of Ely. Its name comes from the Schell Creek Range, which in turn is named for Schell Creek. The summit is the range's highest point and Nevada's ninth-highest.

The best time to visit is from June through September, when higher elevations are snow-free and conditions remain more stable. Bring plenty of water, sun protection, and warm layers for rapid temperature changes, as the altitude and open terrain offer little shelter.

The mountain's prominence measures 5,403 feet, placing it as the 93rd most prominent peak across the entire United States territory.
