2021 Map of Dunderberg Peak

About this map

The high Sierra Nevada crest converges where Toiyabe National Forest, Inyo National Forest, and Yosemite National Park meet. This terrain is defined by extreme elevation changes, from the depths of Lundy Canyon to the summit of Dunderberg Peak. The settlement at Virginia Lakes serves as a modern jumping-off point for a network of high-altitude trails, including the Summit Pass Trl and the West Lake Trl. Historical markers of the region's industrial past are preserved through labels like Dunderberg Mill on the eastern slopes. A massive concentration of alpine water bodies, such as Hunewill Lake, Tamarack Lake, and the chain of Hoover Lakes, underscores the glacial carving that shaped this portion of the Mono and Tuolumne county border. Researchers can trace the exact drainage patterns of Mccabe Cr and Virginia Canyon as they were surveyed in the early 21st century.
