Lincoln Peak

Lincoln Peak is an 11,597-foot summit in eastern Nevada’s Snake Range within Great Basin National Park. The park’s seventh-highest peak and Nevada’s seventeenth-highest, it rises sharply above nearby canyons and valleys, giving it a notably steep profile and making it part of the rugged alpine landscape that defines the park. The Highland Ridge Trail traverses its west slope below the summit, providing access to the surrounding high country. Set in the Great Basin Desert, the mountain experiences hot summers, cold winters, and rapid temperature drops after sunset. Its name aligns with the region’s geography, including nearby Lincoln County, named for Abraham Lincoln.
