The Boundary Trail is 53.7 miles long and has numerous access points and trail junctions. The trail once formed the boundary between the Columbia and Rainier National Forests. Now it marks the southern boundary of the Cowlitz Valley District. This was an important trail in the early history of the Forest Service as it was the principal route used by rangers on horseback patrols. The trail was well established by 1911.

Description

Wheeler Peak (13,060'), in Great Basin National Park, is in some sense the highest mountain in Nevada. Although Boundary Peak is the highest point in Nevada, it’s on the shoulder of a mountain whose peak is taller (and in CA - Montgomery Peak). So Wheeler is the the highest mountain in Nevada (or highest independent mountain, if you'd like).  The trail to the top gains about 3000' in 4 miles.

The ascent has a Strava segment.
