Sevy Peak, at 10,480 feet (3,190 m) above sea level is a peak in the Sawtooth Range of Idaho. The peak is located in the Sawtooth Wilderness of Sawtooth National Recreation Area in Custer County. The peak is located 0.39 mi (0.63 km) north-northeast of Dave's Peak, its line parent. It is 1.3 mi (2.1 km) south of Decker Peak.[3][4][5] The mountain's toponym was officially adopted in 1973 to remember John Lowe Sevy (1912–1963), a former Sawtooth National Forest Supervisor who contributed much to the development of the forest and spent much of this leisure time in the area around this peak.[2]
