Boundary peak7/6/2023 The Trail Canyon Route is approximatley 8.5 miles round trip. You need to have route finding and cross-country navigation skills, and we recommend acclimating to altitude for several days before undertaking this hike. The winter may also require a considerably longer hike up with the road condition ranging from bad to impassable.įrom the top, you're about 0.5 miles and a few hundred feet from the top of Montgomery Peak, which is higher than Boundary, but located in California, so you cross the state line to reach it. The hike to the summit of Boundary Peak is most often done as a long day hike. The hike to the top of Nevada requires a lengthy drive to the base due to tough road conditions. However, winter ascents can be turned into multi-day affairs with the saddle serving as a great camping spot, as long as there is snow for water. Boundary Peak is the highest mountain in Nevada at just over 13,000ft. This is mostly done in the summer as the snow is generally lighter than across the valley in the Sierra, and it's much more accessible. It's a pretty straightforward climb, as you'll want to stay on the northwest side of the ridge the whole way from the saddle on. ![]() The final push is another 1,100 feet at altitude to reach the 13,147-foot summit.įrom the first saddle on, the trail is barely there, with loose rock and scree and a faintly-used trail making itself known just often enough to keep you on track. From there, another 1,300 feet to reach the second saddle and a good rest stop. You climb right off the bat, about 1,000 feet in a mile up to reach a flat traverse to the main saddle at the base of Boundary.
