About Sex Peak. Lookout Rental

Sex Peak Lookout is situated in the Rocky Mountains at an elevation of 5.8 ft in the Kootenai National Forest. The original lookout was constructed in the early 1920s and replaced by the current lookout in 1948. The peak was named by I.V. Anderson, an early forester, and Harry Baker, supervisor of what was then Cabinet National Forest. It is rumored that they named the peak after their topic of conversation at the time. The lookout is typically open from late June through mid-October and is accessible by car. This rustic retreat offers a few amenities, but guests should pack in most of their own supplies and gear.

This location was very windy, be careful of the doors and windows. Beautiful area, with plenty of hiking trails.
