    NOTE: M = Mountaineers Peak, E = Emblem Peak, X = not on SPS List (in 'SPS' column)
      ^ = metric contours and elevations on 7.5' maps (in 7.5' map columns)
      Name Mt  => 'Mt' should be before peak 'Name' (ex: Rose Mt is Mount Rose, but sorted on 'Rose')
      Name Mtn => 'Mtn' is after peak 'Name' as listed (ex: Muah Mtn is Muah Mountain)
      Maps listed here are USGS 7.5 minute topo quads

    Below are GPS waypoints, in Waypoint+ text format, suitable for downloading to a GPS or importing/viewing in TOPO! software. The comment field contains the exact peak name, as in the various lists of peaks, but may be truncated by your GPS. The waypoint names are all abbreviated to 6 characters. Note that peaks marked by 'X' in the table above are not on the SPS List.

    The first set of data below has decimal degrees, with latitude and longitude after the 3rd and 4th comma. The second set of data shows full UTM zone, easting, and northing after the 3rd, 4th, and 5th commas. The "UTM Hint" in the table above represents the peak location to the nearest 100 meters, use the data below for more precision.
