Mount Charleston, including Charleston Peak (Nuvagantu, literally "where snow sits", in Southern Paiute[5] or Nüpakatütün in Shoshoni[6]) at 11,916 feet (3,632 m),[7] is the highest mountain in both the Spring Mountains and Clark County, in Nevada, United States. It is the eighth-highest mountain in the state.[8] Well separated from higher peaks by large, low basins, Charleston Peak is the most topographically prominent peak in Nevada,[9] and the eighth-most-prominent peak in the contiguous United States.[10] It is one of eight ultra-prominent peaks in Nevada. It is located about 35 miles (56 km) northwest of Las Vegas within the Mount Charleston Wilderness, which is within the Spring Mountains National Recreation Area of the Humboldt–Toiyabe National Forest.
