Dunderberg Peak, Mountain summit in Mono County, United States.
Dunderberg Peak rises to an elevation of 12,379 feet in the Sierra Nevada range, featuring steep slopes and substantial prominence of 1,334 feet.
The Wheeler Survey expedition team renamed the peak from Castle Peak in 1878 after discovering mines on its northern slope during their exploration.
The peak stands within Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest, representing a significant landmark for mountaineers and outdoor enthusiasts in the Sierra Nevada region.
Visitors can access the peak through two main hiking routes, with the recommended climbing season extending from June through October when the trails remain snow-free.
The mountain summit includes a maintained jeep trail that leads directly over the top, providing vehicular access through a series of challenging hairpin turns.
