Gemini Peak is a summit in the Mosquito Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The {{convert|13958|ft|0|adj=on}} mountain is located {{convert|1.1|km|order=flip}} north northeast of Mount Sherman, on the drainage divide separating Lake County from Park County. Gemini Peak is appropriately named considering the mountain has two distinct summits and that the Latin word Gemini means "twins."{{cite web |url=https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/Gemini |title=Gemini |website=wiktionary.org |access-date=7 April 2020}} The northeast summit is slightly higher than its southwest "twin."
