Mount Bole is a 10339abbr=offNaNabbr=off mountain summit in Gallatin County, Montana, United States.
Mount Bole is located 18miles 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 2500abbr=offNaNabbr=off above Storm Castle Creek in 0.85miles. 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]
Based on the Köppen climate classification, Mount Bole is located in a subarctic climate zone characterized by long, usually very cold winters, and mild summers.[6] Winter temperatures can drop below 0 °F with wind chill factors below −10 °F.
