There are two different trails that will lead you to the Boundary Peak Summit, the Queens Canyon trail and the Trail Canyon trail. Both are considered strenuous and may take some serious navigational skills as the trail may have faded due to lack of use. Plant to pack plenty of water, as there are no water sources aside from snow on the ground during winter months. It is advised to arrive a few days early to acclimate to the elevation change as this trail begins around 9,000 ft. and reaches 13,140 ft.

There are two ways to access Boundary Peak, via the Queens Canyon trailhead or the Trail Canyon Trailhead.
The trail heads are located off of US-route 6, either from Nevada or California. Turn onto Queen Canyon road and keep left at the fork (the widest part of the road). Follow this dirt road for about 7 miles and you will reach the Queens Canyon trailhead or continue along for another 5 miles to reach the Trail Canyon trailhead. A dirt turn out is located at each trail head allowing for easy access to trailheads.
A 4WD vehicle is not required but a high clearance vehicle is.
