Range: Great Basin Ranges

Intermountain West- Great Basin Ranges

Arc Dome

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-23
hike
3588m
P1589m
i37.11km

Arc Dome was on my to-do list last November, but too much snow and limited time got in the way. This time, I was determined to tackle it and add another ultra-prominent peak to my list. After finally hiking Arc Dome, I can say it’s a fantastic trek with lots of open space and stunning…

Wheeler Peak

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-22
hike
3982m
P2306m
i373.02km

There are 455 peaks in the world with 300 km or more isolation, and Wheeler Peak is one of them. It boasts over 2000 meters of prominence, nearly reaching 4000 meters, and features on at least 60 different peak lists. That’s the reward you get after climbing this majestic peak. But wait, there’s more! It…

North Schell Peak

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-21
hike
3622m
P1647m
i37.81km

Hurrying towards North Schell Peak, sunlight bounces off something in the distance. My brain screams “reflection,” but a nagging voice whispers, “roll down the window, buddy, is that thunder?” Turns out, the little voice was Einstein today. Another flash, then a rumble confirms it – storm’s brewing, maybe 6 km out by the sound of…

Flat Top Mountain

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-20
hike
3237m
P1637m
i37.98km

This peak wasn’t in my original plan. But again, I check my calendar, I check the map, and bang… I have time and there’s an unclimbed-by-me ultra-prominent peak in relative proximity. Such a coincidence. Of course, I find a way to the peak. At the trailhead, there’s a big parking area (no overnight stays mentioned…

Pilot Peak

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-19
hike
3266m
P1745m
i86.42km

This peak is officially my favorite of the trip. It’s remote, has challenging access, and is wonderfully wild. No real trails mar its landscape. The views are captivating, and it’s just hard enough to remember yet easy enough to conquer in a day. By my standards, it’s almost ideal peak. Getting to the trailhead is…

Mount Lewis

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-18
hike
2949m
P1303m
i56.24km

After an easy hike to Star Peak, I still have plenty of time and no plans for today. Consulting maps and satellite images, Mount Lewis looks like an easy target and is more or less on the way to Pilot Peak. Obviously, I head towards it and soon park on the unpaved roadside, not far…

Star Peak

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-18
hike
2998m
P1646m
i111.09km

Waking up in Reno and drove a couple of hundred kilometers to the geothermal plant. I then turned right onto a reasonably good unpaved road, which soon became steep and then even steeper. A few sections really required a high-clearance 4WD car. Although it’s not impossible with a mini SUV (I switched to manual gear…

Virginia Peak

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-17
hike
2551m
P1111m
i33.71km

Early afternoon, after a few hours’ drive from Mount Rose south of Reno, I approach Virginia Peak, northwest of Reno and near Pyramid Lake. It’s the second Ribu today. I drive up unpaved Microwave Rd., and the road name hilariously matches the warning sign at the top about potential radiation—maybe I’ll shine today like casino…

Telescope Peak

Great Basin Ranges
2024-06-14
hike
3367m
P1880m
i92.04km

Last year, I aimed to hike Telescope Peak in November, but storms had closed the route a long time ago. This time, Death Valley National Park’s website says nothing about road closures. Time to try again! Mihai mentioned it hit 45°C in Death Valley last week, so I expect little snow on top. At the…
