Mount Grant, in Nevada, is the highest and most topographically prominent summit in both the Wassuk Range and Mineral County, and the state's thirteenth most prominent peak. Named in English for Ulysses S. Grant, it is also known to Northern Paiute people as Kurangwa, a sacred being central to their creation story and associated with the creation of Walker Lake, or Agai Pah. Ancestors of Northern Paiute groups periodically lived near the mountain during seasonal migrations. Although it dominates the surrounding landscape and holds lasting cultural importance, access is now very limited because the peak lies within the Hawthorne Army Depot.
