5,351-foot Minton Peak is named for Colonel David Minton, an Ohioan who moved west and homesteaded in the area. The mountain is home to a lookout structure that was built in 1932, renovated in 1968, and largely replaced in 2011. The summit and lookout catwalk offer great views of the Cabinet and Bitterroot Mountains. There is a vault toilet on site and the lookout structure is rentable from the U.S. Forest Service for $55 per night.
