**Mount Prophet** is a steep and remote mountain in the [North Cascades](/source/North_Cascades) of [Washington](/source/Washington_(U.S._state)) state. Located between several isolated valleys west of [Ross Lake](/source/Ross_Lake_(Washington)) and east of the [Picket Range](/source/Picket_Range), the mountain was named in reference to Tommy Rowland, a "religiously fanatic" [prospector](/source/Prospecting) who lived by the [Skagit River](/source/Skagit_River) in the late 19th century. Because of its difficult-to-access location, few people have attempted to climb Mount Prophet.[1]

Ringed by the separate valleys of the two Beaver Creeks and Arctic Creek, the mountain rises steeply from the valley floor, which gives it a prominence of over 4,000 feet (1,220 m). It is the 18th most prominent peak in Washington state.[2] Several trails lead to drainages near the mountain, the closest of which is the Little Beaver-Big Beaver Loop, a distance of roughly 26.5 miles (42.6 km).[3]
