Drive the rough road to Trail Canyon trailhead (8,300 ft) - high clearance vehicle recommended. The trail climbs steeply through Trail Canyon, gaining the ridge at about 11,500 ft. Follow the exposed ridgeline south, passing over or around several false summits. The final stretch to Boundary Peak is a rocky scramble. Montgomery Peak (13,440 ft) in California is nearby and higher, but Boundary is Nevada's highpoint. Bring plenty of water - this is desert mountain terrain.
