Mount Meeker

Mount Meeker is a high mountain summit of the Twin Peaks Massif in the northern Front Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America.

Mountain
Mount Meeker is the second highest summit in Rocky Mountain National Park after its neighbor Longs Peak, 1.1 km to the northwest. Due to its location southeast of Longs Peak, Mount Meeker is more visually prominent along much of the northern Front Range Urban Corridor. The peak is considered more difficult to climb, technically, than Longs Peak on certain routes.

Historical names
Neniis-otoyou’u, or nesótaieux, ("two guides") is what the Arapaho people called both Longs Peak and Mount Meeker.

Les Deux Oreilles ("two ears") is what a couple of French trappers called Longs Peak and Mount Meeker in 1799.

The name "Mount Meeker" was first suggested in 1873 when the Hayden Survey was performed. Present were William Byers, Anna Dickinson, and Ralph Meeker, the son of Nathan Meeker. It was officially named this in 1911.
