North Pole is located roughly 17 miles SW of Elk City in the Gospel Hump Wilderness. Unlike its slightly taller neighbor, Buffalo Hump, it is easily reached by trail. A fire lookout was established on the peak in 1927. The lookout was decommissioned in 1950 and destroyed at a later date. Only the foundation remains. The access and route information in the book is still accurate. It is 2.5 miles with 1,225 feet of elevation gain from Wildhorse Campground to the summit.
