Mount Moriah is an east-central Nevada summit situated in the northern Snake Range. U.S. Highway 6 and Highway 50 traverse the Sacramento Pass which divides the northern and southern parts of the range. To the south of the pass is Great Basin National Park and Wheeler Peak. The mountain is about 37 miles (60 km) east of Ely, the nearest town. It rises over 6,000 vertical feet above the Snake Valley on its east flank and the Spring Valley its west.[4] Immediately to the north is a large flat sub-alpine area called The Table,[5] which supports an ancient stand of Bristlecone Pine.[4] The peak is the highest point in the Humboldt National Forest and the Mount Moriah Wilderness.[2]
