Name Notes: The peak was first named when attempted in 1859 by Henry Custer. In the survey notes, he noted that the Indians called it "Hozameen" (with an "a"). However the survey spelled it Hozomeen (with an 0). Today, the Canadian topo maps spell the adjoining ridge "Hozameen Range", but the American topo maps and most guidebooks spell it as Hozomeen. |
