Kavanaugh Ridge is an overlook that lies at 11,000 feet with incredible views into Hoover Wilderness Area. This trail is only accessible during summer months after the snow has melted. From the viewpoint at the top, the terrain drops off several thousand feet and offers incredible views of the Hoover Wilderness Area. Below, there are several lakes including East Lake, Green Lake, West Lake, Gilman Lake, Hoover Lakes and more. In the distance you can see Gabbro Peak, Page Peaks East, Epidote Peak and more.
We explored this area in our 2021 Can-Am Commander XT-P and stopped at Dunderburg Mill and checked out the remnants from the "town" and the stamp mill.
The most direct route to Kavanaugh Ridge is from Virginia Lakes via Dunderberg Meadow Road, but we drove in from closer to Bridgeport off of Highway 395 and Green Creek Road.
The ridge is at high elevation and it is typically windy, so plan accordingly!
