Grays Peak, rising 14,278 feet in Colorado, is one of the state's fifty-three fourteeners and ranks as the tenth-highest summit in both the state and the Rocky Mountains of North America. On the Continental Divide in Arapahoe National Forest, it is the highest summit of the Front Range and the highest point anywhere on the Continental Divide and its trail in North America. First recorded as climbed in 1861 by botanist Charles C. Parry, who named it for Asa Gray, it also bears the Arapaho collective name Heeniiyoowuu with nearby Torreys Peak. Its relatively easy ascent has made it one of Colorado's most popular high summits.
