The trapper Étienne Provost is the peak's namesake, also of the city of Provo.[5] Near the top of the peak are multiple parallel terraces that can be easily seen from the valley floor from the west or south. These were created in the 1930s by CCC workers to reduce the severe erosion caused by overgrazing on the slopes of the peak.[6]
