    Tips

    December 7, 2016

    Mount Rose is the highest mountain in Washoe County, within the Carson Range of Nevada. Elevation 10,785 ft (3,287 m), Prominence 3,630 ft (1,106 m).
    It is also both the highest and most topographically prominent peak of the greater Sierra Nevada range within the state of Nevada, and the third most topographically prominent peak in the Sierra Nevada overall. It is located in the Mount Rose Wilderness of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest. An extinct volcano, the mountain is in between Lake Tahoe and Reno. State Route 431 traverses Mount Rose Summit southeast of Mount Rose. Due to the high elevation, most of the precipitation that falls on the mountain is snow. The view from Mount Rose, facing east is the Truckee Meadows area is the second largest population center in Nevada.

    Mount Rose Ski Tahoe resort is nearby but is not on Mount Rose. Despite the name, the resort is actually on the slopes of Slide Mountain, which is on the other side of Nevada State Route 431.

    Mt Rose and the surrounding peaks are attractive destinations for back country skiing in winter and into late spring: komoot.de/tour/9438033
