Mount Fitzgerald, Mountain summit in Ruby Mountains, Nevada, United States.
Mount Fitzgerald is a summit in the Ruby Mountains within Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. The ridge terrain here features steep rocky walls and high alpine areas that rise above the surrounding forest.
The mountain was documented on geological survey maps and serves as a reference point for the region. The peak reflects glacial shaping that occurred during past ice ages.
Mount Fitzgerald stands as the fourth-highest named peak in the Ruby Mountains, contributing to Nevada's collection of prominent geological formations.
The ascent typically begins at Snow Lake on the east side and requires both hiking and basic scrambling. Visitors should prepare for alpine conditions and bring sturdy footwear and water.
The mountain forms the north wall of Box Canyon and features a glacial horn profile. This formation was created by the meeting of several valleys that were carved by glaciers during the ice age.
