Mummy Mountain is a prominent peak in Nevada’s Spring Mountains, within the Mount Charleston Wilderness and Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. It is the range’s second-highest peak and the state’s twentieth-highest mountain. Its name comes from its profile, which resembles a mummy or Egyptian sarcophagus, with features above Lee Canyon forming the head, broad summit the body, and southern rise and cliffs the feet, including Mummy’s Toe. The summit is broad and flat, and the usual climbing route leaves the Mount Charleston trail near the ridge between the two peaks, ascends steep scree, and reaches the plateau through a class 3 chute. It remains one of southern Nevada’s notable high summits.
