Mountains of My Heart
Long before the white settlers decided to name them Long’s and Meeker after 2 white politicians, the native Arapaho had already named them “Neniis-otoyou’u” which translates: there are two mountains.
I simply call them my two guides. I fell under their spell many years ago when I first visited the Rockies. And they have been quietly offering me their wisdom ever since.
Get still and listen. The Earth has much to share with you.

How is the original name pronounced?

Not certain of the pronunciation! We’ve only seen it used in writing.
It is Arapaho, if that helps. ❤️
