Mount Meeker

Mount Meeker is a mountain summit in Rocky Mountain National Park, reaching about 13,916 feet as the park's second-highest point. The peak features steep rock faces and long ridges on its northern side.

French fur trappers named the region Les Deux Oreilles in early colonial times, recognizing the two peaks as key landmarks for navigation. This naming reflects how important these mountains were to early explorers.

The Arapaho named this peak and its neighbor 'Neniis-otoyou'u', meaning two guides, reflecting their role as navigation points in the mountains.

Access starts at the Longs Peak Trailhead, where parking fills quickly during summer and early arrival is recommended. The route requires good preparation and sure footing, as steep sections and exposed edges lead to the summit.

The Dreamweaver Couloir on the north face is a technically demanding climbing route popular with spring snow climbers. This passage offers one of the region's more challenging spring snow climbing experiences.
