Mount Rose

Mount Rose is a 4,301-foot-elevation (1,311-meter) mountain summit located in the southeast portion of the Olympic Mountains, in Mason County of Washington state. It is situated in the Mount Skokomish Wilderness, on land managed by Olympic National Forest. The nearest higher neighbor is line parent Copper Mountain, 1.2 mi (1.9 km) to the north, and Mount Ellinor is 1.7 mi (2.7 km) to the northeast. Precipitation runoff from the mountain drains into Lake Cushman, and topographic relief is significant as the summit rises approximately 3,600 feet (1,100 m) above the lake in less than one mile. Old-growth forests of Douglas fir, western hemlock, and western redcedar grow on the slopes surrounding the peak. In 2006, the Bear Gulch Fire scorched 750 acres of forest on the slopes of Mount Rose from lake level to the summit. Another Bear Gulch Fire started on July 6, 2025, near Mount Rose and burned mostly uncontained though the summer. Access to the summit is via the 3.2-mile-long Mt. Rose Trail which gains 3,500 feet of elevation.
