Dogskin Mountain is a small range, trending roughly northwesterly, about 20 miles north of Reno, Nevada. The highest part has several peaks in the 2250 m/p7400 ft range, of which the true summit is at the southeast end (2287 m/7487 ft). That's the one we climbed here.

Dogskin Mountain, view toward Benchmark Summit

View northwesterly; the Benchmark Summit (2275 m/7464 ft) is the high point at the end of the ridge we're on just right of center. The Honey Lake Basin is the distant valley beyond, in California.
