Location of Verdi Peaks within Nevada

The Verdi Peaks are a group of three summits in the Ruby Mountains of Elko County, Nevada, in the western United States. They rise from the head of Talbot Canyon above Verdi Lake, and are a prominent part of the north wall of Lamoille Canyon above the Terraces Picnic Area. The two southern summits are directly on the Ruby Crest 5,000 feet (1,500 m) above the Ruby Valley to the east. Verdi Peak is the highest of the tree and is located about 25 miles (40 km) southeast of the community of Elko.
