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 ft (1,500 m) above the Ruby Valley to the east. The central summit is the highest of the three and is located about 25 mi (40 km) southeast of the community of Elko.
