Descripción
Wheeler Peak is the tallest mountain in the Snake Range in Nevada. The summit elevation of 3982 m makes it the second-highest peak in Nevada, just behind Boundary Peak. The mountain is located in Great Basin National Park and was named for George Wheeler, leader of the Wheeler Survey of the late 19th century. Wheeler Peak has an impressive headwall above a large glacial cirque, large moraines, and an active rock glacier. The top of the mountain is covered by deep snow most of the year. The Wheeler/Jeff Davis cirque is absolutely towering, and Nevada’s only glacier rests at the base. Slightly below the cirque is a grove of bristlecone pine trees, the oldest living species on the planet.
