Mount Meeker, elevation 13,916 ft (4,242 m), is a summit in the Front Range of northern Colorado and the second highest mountain in Rocky Mountain National Park. The mountain is southwest of Estes Park and rises over 9,000 ft above the western Great Plains. The peak is easily visible from the Denver area to the southeast. Due to its location in relation to Longs Peak, Mount Meeker is actually more visually prominent along most of the Front Range. The peak is considered harder to climb, technically, than Longs Peak on certain routes.
