History
Originally named Medano Peak ("medano" is Spanish for sand hill) for the sand dunes located at the base of the summit. In 1970, the U.S. Board on Geographic Names approved the name Mount Seven, at the request of the Colorado Mountain Club and to recognize the summit's seven distinct peaks. Renamed in 1984 for Ulysses Herard and his family, who homesteaded on the slope of the summit in 1876 and maintained a ranch there until 1948.
