Terra Tomah Mountain is a 12,718-foot summit in Rocky Mountain National Park, part of Colorado’s Front Range and a prominent landmark from Forest Canyon Overlook along Trail Ridge Road. Its northeast face rises sharply above Forest Canyon, and its alpine subarctic setting brings snowy winters, summer thunderstorms, and runoff into the Big Thompson River. The mountain’s name arose from a 1914 outing with the Colorado Mountain Club, when George Barnard used the words “terra toma” from a Cahuilla ghost dance song he knew from Pomona College. Intended for a nearby lake, the name was mistakenly applied to the mountain and officially adopted in 1932.
