Gunsight Peak is located east of the main Lemhi Range Crest. It is the northernmost summit on a ridgeline that begins on the main crest at U Mountain and includes Ray Lode Peak, Peak 10624 and Gunsight Peak. This ridge divides Big Eightmile Creek from the North Fork Timber Creek. USGS Yellow Peak.

Access Update by Livingston Douglas
FSR-106/North Fork Little Timber Creek Road (Page 314 in the book) is no longer accessible and has been closed for years. It is blocked by posted, private land with “aerial surveillance.” FSR-106 no longer shows up on the MVUM as a result. So FST-627/North Fork Little Timber Creek Trail (Page 314 in the book) is no longer accessible either unless you do an arduous cross-country trek across a ridge from the Little Timber Creek Road to skirt the private ranch land.
