The highest peak in Amador County, Thunder Mountain measures 9,410 feet (2,868 m) in elevation. With that said it's not actually the highest peak on its plateau — the others just happen to be in neighboring counties. But Thunder Mountain remains a hugely popular hiking destination, thanks to its sensational views and relatively easy access.
