While not one of the highest peaks of the Sawatch Range, Mount Princeton is one of the most dramatic, abruptly rising nearly 7,000 feet above the Arkansas River valley in only 6 miles.〔(Mount Princeton on Summitpost )〕
The first recorded ascent was on July 17, 1877, at 12:30 pm by William Libbey of Princeton University.〔(Merritt, J. I. (1997) "The Once and Future Mountain" ''Princeton Alumni Weekly'' Princeton University )〕 It is likely that various miners had climbed the peak earlier.〔("William Libbey and the 1877 Expedition" ''Princeton Alumni Weekly'' Princeton University )〕 The name ''Mount Princeton'' was in use as early as 1873, and the peak was most likely named by Henry Gannett, a Harvard graduate and chief topographer in a government survey led by George M. Wheeler.〔〔Borneman, Walter R. and Lampert, Lyndon J. (1994) ''A Climbing Guide to Colorado's Fourteeners'' (3rd ed.) Pruett, Boulder, Colorado, ISBN 0-87108-850-9〕
