Nevada is the most mountainous state the United States with 314 named mountain ranges. It has a whopping 172 peaks with a prominence of 2,000 feet or more. This is more than any other state, besides Alaska. Nevada also has 8 Ultra Prominence Peaks within the continental United States. These peaks provide a wide range of difficulty. Some are also very remote. Also, if you include 6 error range peaks, that gives a total of 178 peaks that have at least 2,000 feet of prominence. Out of these 178 peaks, only 50 at the time of writing this page, have a SummitPost page.

This list was compiled using the “mean prominence” value. Peaklist uses its ranking system with this method (172 peaks). However, if you use the “clean prominence” value, then there are only 169 peaks in Nevada with 2,000 feet of prominence. Peakbagger uses this method. In addition, there are also the 6 peaks that are in the “Error Range” of having 2,000 feet of prominence. Only one of these peaks was on SummitPost at the time of writing this.

On a side note, it is probably not likely that someone today could climb all 2,000 foot prominence peaks Nevada has to offer in his/her lifetime. Three summits lie within the Nevada Test Site, a large military test area, that is off limits to the public. These three mountains are Bald Mountain, Belted Range HP, and Stonewall Mountain (numbers 30, 70, and 95 respectively).

Current Total with a SummitPost Page: 70
