Bonanza Peak, Mountain summit in North Cascades, Washington, US
Bonanza Peak rises to 9,516 feet in elevation, featuring three substantial glaciers: Company Glacier, Mary Green Glacier, and Isella Glacier on its different faces.
The peak received its current name through a cartographic error in 1904 when the USGS mistakenly switched labels between North Star Mountain and Bonanza Peak.
Members of the Mazamas mountaineering organization, Curtis James, Barrie James, and Joe Leuthold, completed the first recorded ascent of the peak in 1937.
Access requires a boat journey across Lake Chelan followed by a bus transfer to Holden Village, as no direct road connections reach the mountain base.
The summit stands as Washington state's highest non-volcanic peak, with a prominence of 3,711 feet and multiple technical climbing routes on its faces.
