Davidson Peak is the tallest summit and the southernmost in the East Mormon Mountains, Nevada, United States. It rises to an elevation of 5276abbr=offNaNabbr=off.
Davidson Peak is set in the Great Basin Desert which has hot summers and cold winters.[4] The desert is an example of a cold desert climate as the desert's elevation makes temperatures cooler than lower elevation deserts. Due to the high elevation and aridity, temperatures drop sharply after sunset. Summer nights are comfortably cool. Winter highs are generally above freezing, and winter nights are bitterly cold, with temperatures often dropping well below freezing.
