Dunderberg Peak is located east of the Sierra Nevada crest[1] near the divide between the Mono Basin and East Walker River basin (Conway Summit) in Mono County, in eastern California in the southwestern United States.[2] The peak is in the Hoover Wilderness and is the highest point in Humboldt-Toiyabe National Forest.[3]

History

Dunderberg Peak, originally named Castle Peak, was renamed by a party of the Wheeler Survey after the mines upon its northerly slope in 1878.[4]

Climate

Dunderberg Peak is located in an alpine climate zone.[5] Most weather fronts originate in the Pacific Ocean, and travel east toward the Sierra Nevada mountains. As fronts approach, they are forced upward by the peaks (orographic lift), causing moisture in the form of rain or snowfall to drop onto the range.
