Mount Bonaparte is a 7,262 ft (2213.6 m) mountain located in the Okanogan Highlands and is both the highest mountain in the Washington side of this area[1] and the third-highest Washington peak east of the Okanogan River [3]. Located in Okanogan County near the unincorporated community of Havillah, the closest city is Tonasket, which is 15 linear miles away. It is currently home to two lookout towers; one still staffed in the summer that was built in 1960, and one built in 1914 that is currently used as a storage building. Both of these are on the National Historic Lookout Register [4]. The 1914 building had a tower and a 12'x12' log groundhouse, however today, only the groundhouse remains [4]. The 1960 building is a 15'x15' 20 ft wooden tower with solar panels and communication equipment [4][5]. In 1930 there was also a 16-ft wooden tower built, however it was demolished, and now only the foundation remains [6].
Mount Bonaparte has a high prominence of 3,527 ft., the 31st highest in Washington, and 320th in the contiguous United States. It also has a high isolation of over 20 miles [1]. This mountain can be accessed by three trails, including Bonaparte Trail, a 5.5 mile ATV trail on the north side of the mountain[5]. Mount Bonaparte is in the Mount Bonaparte Potential Wilderness Area, part of the Tonasket Ranger District. The lower elevations of Mount Bonaparte have mixed conifer and lodgepole pine stands, and the higher elevations have dense lodgepole pine forests [3].
