SUPERIOR, MT4.7 (31)
Share: X Facebook
Cell signal:

Thompson Peak Lookout provides great views of the Clark Fork Valley, the town of Superior, the Idaho state line and, of course, the big sky of Montana. It is close enough to Superior to allow for easy access, but remote enough to provide the quiet and solitude expected at a lookout. The modernized tower provides amenities not typical to a lookout, making it a desirable place to stay.A variety of trails exist in the area, allowing visitors a chance to explore the surrounding forest.
