Lunch Peak Lookout

Originally built as a manned lookout tower in 1937, the Lunch Peak Lookout is now available to campers and hikers. While it didn’t look available to occupy when we were there, sources online say you can indeed book it for camping through recreation.gov. From the lookout, you can see the Selkirk and Cabinet mountains, Sandpoint, into eastern Washington, Canada, and even over to Glacier National Park on clear days.

Taking a Pause: Listening, Learning, Sharing

During the course of local protests, the narrative that came out of Coeur d’Alene unfortunately was not that Black Lives Matter. There was not much outward reflection of our privilege in Coeur d’Alene. Even those brave enough to go out and protest around town had to share their narrative with the armed citizens. Stories were about “patriots” getting along with the protestors while protecting them and the business owners. The point was lost in all the noise.
