Description

Mount Meeker by Lynn Sprowl.
I had to make a second visit here, in order to get the mountain without clouds.
This beautiful mountain is just short 84 feet of being one of Colorado's fourteeners. Mount Meeker is a beautiful backdrop for the chapel.

Mount Meeker is the second highest summit in Rocky Mountain National Park after its neighbor Longs Peak, 0.7 miles 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.
A couple of French trappers called Longs Peak and Mount Meeker Les Deux Oreilles (French for "two ears") 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 Mount Meeker in 1911.
