Little Regret Peak is an 11,090-foot elevation (3,380 m) mountain summit located in Custer County, Idaho, United States.

Description

Little Regret Peak is part of the Lost River Range which is a subset of the Rocky Mountains. The mountain is set on land managed by Salmon–Challis National Forest. Neighbors include No Regret Peak one mile south, line parent Mount Breitenbach,[2] 1.75 mile south-southeast, Mount Corruption two miles north, Leatherman Peak three miles to the west, and Borah Peak, the highest peak in Idaho, is seven miles to the northwest. Precipitation runoff from the mountain's slopes drains to Pahsimeroi River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises 2,700 feet (820 meters) above the East Fork Pahsimeroi in one mile.
