Der Mount Spokane (5.883 ft (1.793 m)) — bis 1912 unter dem Namen Mount Baldy bekannt[2] — ist ein Berg im Pazifischen Nordwesten der USA, nordöstlich von Spokane im Bundesstaat Washington gelegen. Sein Gipfel ist der höchste Punkt im Spokane County,[3] außerdem ist er einer der höchsten Berge im Binnen-Nordwesten. Der Mount Spokane ist vom Mount Spokane State Park umgeben, dem mit 13.919 Acres (56,3 km²) größten State Park in Washington. Einer der bekanntesten Punkte im Park ist eine kahle Stelle am westlichen und südlichen Hang des Berges. Mount Kit Carson — der zweithöchste Punkt im Spokane County — liegt nur 1,02 mi (1,6 km) östlich, besitzt aber nur eine Schartenhöhe von 322 ft (98 m) und könnte für einen Nebengipfel des Mount Spokane gehalten werden.- [en] Mount Spokane
