Today’s adventure involved putting our truck in four wheel drive and heading up a dirt road called Trail Canyon, in search of Boundary Peak trailhead. Boundary Peak happens to be the highest natural point in Nevada at 13,147 feet. Because the White Mountains are still white (with snow) we knew the odds of getting close to the top were slim but we decided to see how far we could get. The first couple miles were relatively snow free but as the elevation increased so did the snow. We began post holing (falling thru the snow) as we reached a saddle but managed to climbed to the top of the ridge at a little over 11,000 feet. It was then I realized “what goes up must come down.” I did a bit of glisading (sliding on my booty down a snowy steep hill) and escaped unscathed. We didn’t bag the Peak but had a great time giving it a go.
