Mount Wilson is a highly prominent mountain located in northeastern Lincoln County, Nevada. The broad mountain features three summit humps, gentle open slopes, and an array of communications towers and an FAA radar facility. Two options exist for achieving the highpoint(s): drive a pretty good dirt road 25 miles from Pioche, and make short hikes from the summit plateau, or hike an unused jeep route from the east via backcountry roads. As far as mountaineering challenges go, this won’t rank high up there on your epic scales under normal circumstances. However, it is easily accessible and offers excellent views in a very remote part of Nevada. Mount Wilson is the highest point of the Wilson Creek Mountains and also ranks 90th on the list of most prominent mountains in Nevada.
