Mount Evans

A Colorado state panel has recommended Mount Evans, a prominent peak near Denver, be renamed Mount Blue Sky. The peak is named after John Evans, Colorado’s second territorial governor, who resigned after an 1864 U.S. cavalry massacre of more than 200 Arapaho and Cheyenne people.

Clear Creek County commissioners voted Tuesday to recommend changing Mount Evans to Mount Blue Sky at the request of the Cheyenne and Arapaho tribes. The Arapaho were known as the Blue Sky People, and the Cheyenne hold an annual renewal of life ceremony called Blue Sky.
