Dan Dobbins Peak is the unofficial name given to the officially unnamed highest mountain in the Jackson Mountains of Humboldt County in Nevada, United States. It is the most topographically prominent peak in Humboldt County and ranks tenth among the most topographically prominent peaks in Nevada.[2] The peak is on public land administered by the Bureau of Land Management and thus has no access restrictions. The unofficial name noted in the summit registry book is said to refer to a hiker who died on the peak.[3]

It was noted in the register that some locals call this highest peak in the Jackson Range, "Dan Dobbins Peak", in honor of a climber who died in a vehicle accident in 1978.I couldn't find any additional references to this individual by googling up the name Dan Dobbins nor any additional mentions of a "Dan Dobbins Peak". See the register page on the upper right corner of this page for this.
