Mount Stone

Mount Stone is a 6,612-foot (2,015 m) peak in the Olympic Mountains. It is the highest point in Mason County, Washington and exceeds 2,000 feet (610 m) in prominence.[1][2][3]

Mount Stone can be reached via the North Hamma Hamma Road. Climbing Mount Stone involves a class 3 rock scramble (5000 feet elevation gain, 11 miles roundtrip). This can be done either as a day climb or an overnight trip (camping is available at the Lake of the Angels, ~4900 feet). On a clear day one can view many of the major peaks of the Olympic Mountains, including the Brothers, Mount Washington, Mount Anderson, Mount Deception, and Mount Olympus.
