Generally it would be the "base" of a mountain or hill, although in the case of a mountain at the base there might be foothills, which are smaller hills or mountains surrounding a taller hill or mountain, and of course there might be a valley or canyon nearby. Some mountains also have names for slopes, which might be named after cardinal directions or wind (north slope, windward slope, etc.).

It changes the tense of the word to past tense, meaning that it was already done. "We hiked the mountain" means that we did it already, and the action is complete. Saying "We hike the mountain" would mean that we do it regularly.
