Description
Mount Bole is located 18 miles (29 km) south of Bozeman in the northern Gallatin Range, which is a subrange of the Rocky Mountains.[1] It is set in the Gallatin National Forest and the Hyalite Porcupine Buffalo Horn Wilderness Study Area.[1] The peak is the highest peak on Hyalite Ridge and it ranks as the fourth-highest peak in the Gallatin Range.[1] Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into tributaries of the Gallatin River. Topographic relief is significant as the summit rises over 2,500 feet (762 meters) above Storm Castle Creek in 0.85 miles (1.37 km). The mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names,[3] and it honors William M. Bole (1858–1932), editor and owner of the Bozeman Weekly Chronicle (1902–1917), who owned land in the nearby Hyalite drainage where he built a recreational cabin.[4][5]
