Its summit is the highest point in Spokane County,[2] and it is one of the tallest peaks in the Inland Northwest. Mount Spokane is surrounded by Mount Spokane State Park, Washington's largest at Template:Convert. One of the well-known features is a bald spot on the corner of the west and south parts of the mountain.
