Gypsy Peak rises more than 7,320 feet in the Selkirk Mountains of northeastern Washington, within the Salmo-Priest Wilderness, and is the highest mountain in eastern Washington. Its importance comes chiefly from its elevation and remote setting in one of the state’s protected mountain landscapes near the Washington side of the Selkirk range. Known as a wilderness summit rather than a developed destination, it holds an outsized place in Washington geography because it is the highest point in the eastern part of the state.
