Boundary Peak - Highpoint of Nevada - 13,143 ft

On July 17,2008, Ed Waley, Mike Nondorf and I flew out to Las Vegas, rented a car and headed north through desert for about four hours. Last stop for gas or supplies was Dyer, Nevada.  From there we proceeded to the Boundary Peak trailhead and set up our tents.
