Description

Wikipedia

Three Wives is a 7,450 foot (2,271 m) mountain summit located in North Cascades National Park, in Chelan County of Washington state, USA. It is situated in the Methow Mountains, a subset of the North Cascades. Neighbors include Hock Mountain 3 miles (4.8 km) to the east-northeast and Bowen Mountain, the nearest higher neighbor, 2 miles (3.2 km) to the south. Precipitation runoff from Three Wives drains into tributaries of Bridge Creek, which in turn is a tributary of the Stehekin River. The first ascent of the summit was made by John Roper on October 10, 1980. The mountain's name was applied by Roper, but has not been officially adopted by the United States Board on Geographic Names, so it does not appear on USGS maps.
