Nearby, imposing unnamed peak along the ridge to the north. The trail skirts around the west/left side of its summit.

Near the ridge top, heading north on Pend Oreille Divide Trail, the views of forested hills and valleys to the west are awe inspiring. In the far distance where the clouds meet the sky, are Idaho's Selkirk Mountains.
