Jesus is reported to have gone up more than one mountain. For example:

Mark 3:13: Jesus went up a mountain with those who wished to be his disciples, and chose twelve of them. No reason is given for making a mountain the venue, but it adds drama to the story.

Mark 6:46: After feeding the five thousand, Jesus sent them away and then went up into a mountain to pray. Once again, no reason is given for having to go up a mountain to pray, but had he not done so there would have been no explantion for him knowing that the disciples were in trouble in their ship on the lake, and there would have been no opportunity for him to walk on the water to save them.

Mark 9:2: Jesus took Peter, John and James up a high mountain, where he was transfigured (his appearance changed) and they saw him talking to Moses and Elijah. No reason is given for the need to go up a mountain in order to meet Moses and Elijah, but once again this adds drama to the story.

Jesus went to the desert to fast and pray for 40 days and nights, as a way to prepare for his ministry and to face temptation from the devil. It was a time of spiritual reflection and testing before he began his public ministry.

Jesus went into the desert almost as a way of linking himself with his people's historical experience. Jesus felt he was willed by the Spirit to go into the desert.
