Re: Why is it

Paulo,

This awesome mountain is in an area known as the Indian Peaks. Most of these mountains have official or unofficial names the same as US native tribal names (Paiute, Navajo, Shoshone, etc.)

Look just to the right of Navajo and you'll see an outcrop affectionately known as Dickers Peck. ... Hmmm.
