Mount Jefferson (Nevada)
Template:Short description Script error: No such module "For". Template:Use mdy dates Template:Infobox mountain
Mount Jefferson is the highest mountain in both the Toquima Range and Nye County in Nevada, United States. It is the sixth highest mountain in the state.[1] As the high point of a range which is well separated from other ranges by low basins, Mount Jefferson has a high topographic prominence of Template:Convert. This makes it the most prominent peak in Nye County and the third most prominent peak in Nevada (after Charleston Peak and Wheeler Peak).[2] For similar reasons, it is also the highest mountain for over 90 miles in all directions.[3] It is located about Template:Convert northeast of the county seat of Tonopah within the Alta Toquima Wilderness of the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, near the smaller towns of Carvers and Round Mountain. Three distinct summits are located on a broad area of subalpine tundra: North Summit rises to Template:Convert,[4] Middle Summit to Template:Convert,[5] and South Summit to Template:Convert.[6] During the Pleistocene, alpine glaciers eroded several cirques east of the summit plateau.
