It is one of the White Cloud Peaks and the 56th-highest peak in Idaho. It was named after Challis native David Oliver Lee (1934–1982), the first United States Forest Service ranger to be assigned to the Sawtooth Wilderness.[1]

The peak is located 13 miles (21 km) southeast of Stanley in Sawtooth National Recreation Area of Custer County. It is situated 1.25 miles (2.01 km) south-southwest of Calkins Peak, its line parent, and rises to the west of Cirque, Sapphire, Cove, and the Born Lakes.[3][4][5]
