Mount Fitzgerald is the fourth-highest named mountain in the Ruby Mountains and the fifth-highest in Elko County, in the U.S. state of Nevada. It is the thirty-ninth-highest mountain in the state.[3] It rises from the heads of both Thomas and Right Fork Canyons (branches of Lamoille Canyon), and is also part of the north wall of Box Canyon, making it a true glacial horn. The summit is a high-level ridge and is located about 24 miles (39 km) southeast of the community of Elko, within the Ruby Mountains Wilderness of the Ruby Mountains Ranger District in the Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.
