Introduction
Mountains are big, tall, and sometimes a little scary. But guess what? They also need names. Without names, how would we tell our friends, “Let’s climb that one!” or “Look at that pointy one!” A name makes a mountain feel like a buddy, even if it’s really just a giant pile of rocks.
Some names sound cool, like secret codes. Others sound funny, like someone made them up after tripping on a pebble. And a few are super fancy, like the mountain is wearing a crown. In this list, we’ll explore mountain names that are silly, smart, cute, and even a bit magical.
So grab your hiking shoes, or just your snack bag, and let’s go name some mountains together.
