About
Nopah Peak is a summit of about 6,371 feet in Inyo County, California, inside the Nopah Range Wilderness. The Bureau of Land Management manages the land through its Barstow Field Office, and the nearest town is Charleston View, about 11 miles away. Summer is the most comfortable time to visit. Typical July highs reach about 79°F with lows near 52°F, based on averages from a nearby weather station. That station sits roughly 1,100 feet higher than the summit, so expect warmer temperatures at the peak.
