Luxor Peak

Luxor Peak is a 7,420-foot elevation (2,262 m) summit located in Pershing County, Nevada, United States.

Topographic relief is significant as the west slope rises 2,000 feet (610 meters) in one-half mile.

The large Empire gypsum quarry lies below the west slope of Luxor Peak.

[4] Luxor Peak is set at the southern edge of the Black Rock Desert which has hot summers and cold winters.

Due to the high elevation and aridity, temperatures drop sharply after sunset.
