Verdi Peaks, Mountain summit in Elko County, Nevada, US.
Verdi Peaks consist of three distinct mountain summits in the Ruby Mountains at approximately 11,074 feet in elevation. They form the eastern wall of Lamoille Canyon and rise roughly 5,000 feet above Ruby Valley.
The central peak received a fire lookout tower in the 1930s to monitor wildfires across the region. This structure has marked the summit since then and shows the long history of human use in the area.
The peaks are part of the Ruby Mountains area, valued by locals and hikers who explore the high-altitude landscape. The rock formations and exposed ridges shape how the region looks and attract experienced climbers.
Visiting requires good physical fitness and mountaineering experience because the terrain is steep and often rocky. The best time to visit is late summer and early fall when snow has melted away.
Two southern summits sit along the Ruby Crest and offer additional climbing routes for mountaineers seeking more options. These secondary peaks are often overlooked but provide equally impressive views of the surrounding mountain landscape.
