It is one of three 14ers easily visible from Denver. Pikes Peak is named for U.S. Army officer First Lieutenant Zebulon Montgomery Pike who led an expedition in 1806 along the Missouri and Osage Rivers to map the sources of the Arkansas and Red Rivers. Pikes Peak was called "Tavakiev" by the Tabeguache band of Utes in Colorado, which means "Sun Mountain". They believed that they were created on Pikes Peak. Their own name “Taveewach” or “Taviwach” is derived from the Ute word “Mogwatavungwantsingwu” which means “People of the Sun Slopes”. Pikes Peak was called “Heey-otoyoo’" by the Arapaho, which means "Long Mountain". Early Spanish settlers called it "El Capitán”. Pike himself named the mountain "Highest Peak" when he discovered it in 1806 and it was later commonly known as "Pike's Highest Peak”. Stephen H. Long named the mountain "James Peak" in honor of Edwin James, assisting botanist for Long’s expedition, who officially first summited the peak on July 14, 1820. James was the first to describe the Blue Columbine on his ascent, what later became Colorado’s state flower. The mountain was officially named “Pikes Peak" by the U.S. Board on Geographic Names in 1890. Katharine Lee Bates wrote the poem "Pikes Peak" in 1893 after her journey to the summit in a wooden wagon, what later became the famous song "America the Beautiful".
