Voted 10/10 | Nice to see the 8th highest peak in New Mexico finally added. Only Big Costilla is left to add in the top 10. | |

Voted 10/10 | Was it named Bighorn Peak because the Bighorn sheep are so plentiful? | |

Hasn't voted | Actually this was an unnamed mountain. I named it Bighorn Peak because I saw more bighorn sheep in one place during my descent than I had seen in any other place. Thanks for your vote. | |

Voted 10/10 | Bighorn, Corno Grande, Cornon - most of them haven't been named for the sheep but for their appearance. Good Page! | |

Voted 5/10 | Where did you get the name. As far as I know it still is not officially named. The group I ski with call it Sin Nombre (No Name). | |

Hasn't voted | You are correct, this mountain is not officially named. I made up the name - you can do that here. Did you give my page a vote of 2 stars because you didn't like the page or because you didn't like the name? | |

Voted 5/10 | Probably mostly because of the name. I don't think unnamed peaks should be named arbitrarily, especially when it gets published somewhere like this. I think Unnamed XX,XXX ft, or Point XX,XXX ft is more appropriate. However, I do believe you incorrectly labeled the parking spot. Did you park near the Bavarian (Willimas Lake Trailhead), or did you really mean to start people at the Bull of the Woods trailhead?? Sorry if I come across as a ass, no disrespect is meant. | |

Hasn't voted | I respect your opinion in this matter. Maybe you're right about this, I'll give it some thought. I don't feel strongly about it one way or another. One of the senior SP members told me that if I do a mountain page for an unnamed mountain I can name it what ever I want to. I thought I had to come up with a name. On the one hand I can see how a person might be upset about someone arbitrarily naming a mountain that they have an attachment to. On the other hand, does it really matter?, it's not an official name...it's only for this web site. Interesting debate. | |

Voted 10/10 | nmskimountaineer. There are plenty of peaks on SP that are named on SP but are not officially named. Bighorn Peak needs a name because it is a 10 highest summit and there are several unnamed points nearby that could make the peak identification confusing if the peak didn't have a name. If you are going to vote the page 2 stars because of the name, you might as well vote my Mt. Questa page 2 stars too. I gave vinnypapa the advice about naming the peak by the way. | |

Voted 5/10 | Let me get this straight...... You're going to assign an unnamed peak a name, and publish it, to make it less confusing????? OK.......... BTW, I know you're well regarded around here attm, but I don't care if vinnypapa consulted you about a name. That's just what we need, Texans naming mountains in New Mexico. Sorry, but that is my opinion. | |

Hasn't voted | nmskimountaineer: attm didn't tell me what to name the mountain, he told me TO name it. Read his e-comment a little more carefully and you'll understand why it should be named. If I change the name to what you and your friends call it, would that make everything ok? | |

Voted 10/10 | Don't change the name for this asshole. Pretty childish to blame everything on Texas. He's just jealous he didn't get to name the peak. | |

Voted 5/10 | No, I'm not asking you to change the name of the peak to what we reference it as. That is not my intent. My only intent is to show that unnamed peaks should not be published with names because it can lead to greater confusion. attm - no need to get so fired up. It is just easy to push your buttons..... | |

Voted 5/10 | BTW - If I was really so jealous, I could trump the published name of this peak by going through the correct governmental agencies. | |

Voted 10/10 | Excellent page! I have a few questions.... Is the name Bighorn Peak official? Also, is it the eighth highest? The list I've seen ranks Bighorn ninth behind these peaks: Wheeler Peak Truchas Peak North Truchas Peak Point 12,931 Vintrero Benchmark Lake Fork Peak Chimayosos Peak Jicarita Peak | |
