Thunder Mountain in the Sierra Nevada of California is located east of Silver Lake and west of Kirkwood Mountain Resort[3] in the Eldorado National Forest. The mountain has two peaks, the 9,414-foot (2,869 m) main peak[1] and a 9,412-foot (2,869 m) sub-peak west of the main peak.[4] The main summit is the highest point in Amador County.[1] Due to the high elevation, most precipitation that falls on Thunder Mountain consists of snow.[5]
The peak was named by United States Forest Service personnel because "thunderstorms appear to build up in that area."[6]
