Nature
Mount Moriah is a major peak in eastern Nevada’s northern Snake Range and the highest point in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. Rising 12,072 feet, it ranks among Nevada’s loftiest summits, standing fifth in elevation and ninth in topographic prominence in the state. Its bulk towers more than 6,000 feet above Snake Valley and Spring Valley, making it a dominant landmark. The mountain stands within the Mount Moriah Wilderness near Sacramento Pass, which divides the Snake Range. Just north of the summit, The Table supports an ancient stand of Great Basin bristlecone pine, adding distinctive ecological importance to the mountain’s wilderness setting.
