Heeyoteyoo

Heeyoteyoo, “Long Mountain” in Arapaho, rises above the eastern edge of the Rocky Mountains. Known to later travelers as Pikes Peak, its summit towers over the plains and can be seen far to the east. The mountain and its surrounding valleys belong to a landscape crossed by Indigenous peoples long before permanent European settlement. Its streams descend toward Fountain Creek and the Arkansas River, linking the high country with the plains below.

The later city of Colorado Springs lies here.
