Overview

Boundary Peak (13,147 feet) in Esmeralda County, at the northern end of the White Mountains just east of the California border, is the highest natural point in Nevada. It is a non-technical but strenuous climb up a steep ridge, and the road to the trailhead is rough.

This peak is most often climbed from the Nevada side. From there, a climber may scramble the ridge connecting to Montgomery Peak.
