	Wheeler Peak (Nevada) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Wheeler Peak is the second highest peak in Nevada, and the highest entirely within the state.
		The distinction of highest point in Nevada goes to the summit of Boundary Peak, so named because it is very near the Nevada-California border, at the northern terminus of the White Mountains.
		However, Boundary Peak can be considered a subsidiary summit of Montgomery Peak, whose summit is in California, since the topographic prominence of Boundary Peak is only 253 ft (77 m), which falls under the often used 300 foot cutoff for an independent peak.
