Dolly Varden Mountains Highpoint Nevada

Looking for a view? This remote mountain offers lots of big views. Although not that exciting of a place, you will probably be able to enjoy it alone. Dolly Varden is also #155 on the Nevada 2,000 Prominence List. Note: that although atlases show the road continuing west to access Highway 93, the locked gate kept this from being a one way trip for me.

From Wendover at Alt US 93, go south for 38 miles. There should be a sign for Dolly Varden just before the right turn. Drive this nice dirt road for 4.6 miles to a Y. Take left fork and go another 7 miles to a sign that says "Danger No Trespassing". Continue a short bit to a yellow locked gate. This is the Victoria Mine. There is a rough road cutting to the left of the gate and mine property. Follow this bumpy road as it travels above the mine. Then the road improves as you re-gain the main road that traveled through the closed mine area. Follow the road about a mile and a half to the summit.

Distance: Drive-up
Summit Elevation: 8,592 feet
Access rating: Level 3
