Ownership is administered by the Bureau of Land Management. It is situated 2.1 mi southeast of Bottleneck Peak, 1.52 mi south of Assembly Hall Peak, and the nearest higher neighbor is Cedar Mountain, 8.95 mi to the north-northeast.

Geology
This major erosional remnant along the San Rafael River is composed of Wingate Sandstone, which is the remains of wind-borne sand dunes deposited approximately 200 million years ago in the Late Triassic, overlain by Kayenta Formation, and capped by Jurassic Navajo Sandstone. Lightly-colored slopes of Chinle Formation are exposed in places around the base of the mountain.

Spring and fall are the most favorable seasons to visit Window Blind Peak. According to the Köppen climate classification system, it is located in a Cold semi-arid climate zone, which is defined by the coldest month having an average mean temperature below 32 °F (0 °C), and at least 50% of the total annual precipitation being received during the spring and summer.
