Boundary Peak

highest point (13,143 feet [4,006 metres]) in Nevada, U.S. The northernmost peak of the White Mountains, it lies in Esmeralda county within Inyo National Forest, 65 miles (105 km) west-southwest of Tonopah, Nevada. The peak is administered by the U.S. Forest Service. Its name derives from its location less than 12 mile from the California-Nevada border. A moderately difficult 8-mile (13-km) trail leads to the summit, which is snowcapped for most of the year.
