The story
Rock Mountain is a 6,840+ ft (2,080+ m) mountain summit located 6.3 mi (10.1 km) northeast of Stevens Pass in Chelan County of Washington state. This peak is situated north of U.S. Highway 2, approximately midway between Stevens Pass and Lake Wenatchee, on land managed by the Okanogan–Wenatchee National Forest. Rock Mountain is the second-highest point on Nason Ridge, following Mount Howard, 1.37 mi (2.20 km) to the northeast. Rock Mountain was named by Albert Hale Sylvester. Precipitation runoff from the peak drains into tributaries of the Wenatchee River.
