Boundary Peak Trailhead the Forest Service's write-up

Located in Boundary Peak Wilderness , 13,140 ft Boundary Peak is the highest point in Nevada. From the summit, the view takes in the Mono Lake basin to the north, the Sierra Nevada Mountains to the west, the White Mountains Wilderness to the south, while Nevada’s Basin and Range extends to the eastern horizon.

The hike to the summit of Boundary Peak is most often done as a long day hike by one of two routes: Trail Canyon or Queen Canyon . You need to have route finding and cross-country navigation skills, and we recommend acclimating to altitude for several days before undertaking this hike.

About this trail's facts

The lines are the US Forest Service's National Forest System trails layer (public domain), read 2026-10-16 and simplified for the map; the length is the line's, end to end, and the class, surface, grade and tread width are the forest's own entries where it publishes them - a forest that publishes the centreline alone has none. The trailheads and the points along the way are the Service's recreation points, and the write-ups its own recarea text, unedited. Heights come from USGS 3DEP through Terrain Tiles on AWS (Mapzen/Tilezen), read along each line and rounded; a short trail on steep ground can be off by a few tens of feet. Closures change: check the forest's own site before you go.
