Sawtell Peak, Island Park, ID

Sawtelle Peak is just under 10,000 feet in height, a full 4500 feet above the valley floor, and it stands out very clearly on a clear day. The FAA long-Range radar dome is just visible in the middle top of the mountain

Sawtell Peak is named for Gilman Sawtell, one of the original guides into what is now Yellowstone NP.





The view,  is worth everything. How about 140 mile visibility?

From Sawtell Peak you can see our campground in the distance....Valley View RV Park, which is part of the Island Park, ID Recreation Area.

10,000 feet above sea level, looking around at three states(MT, WY, & ID), as well as Yellowstone National Park and the Teton Range. All that, and FAA facility and a new FM station facility too!
