With an elevation of 9,192 feet (2,802 m), The Lonesome Bachelor is the 860th-highest summit in the state of Montana. [2] It is located in the Selway–Bitterroot Wilderness on land managed by Bitterroot National Forest.

This mountain's toponym has been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names. [3]
