The Mummy Range (elevation approximately 13,000 ft) is a mountain range in the Rocky Mountains of northern Colorado in the United States. The range is a short subrange of the Front Range located in southwestern Larimer County northwest of the town of Estes Park. It is located largely within Rocky Mountain National Park, extending north from Trail Ridge Road approximately {{cvt|15|mi}}. The Arapaho name is "nooku-bee3ei-no," which translates to "White Owls."{{cite web |title=Center for the Study of Indigenous Languages of the West - University of Colorado Boulder |url=https://www.colorado.edu/center/csilw/language-archives/arapaho-word-lists/place-names |website=www.colorado.edu |access-date=13 November 2020}}

Prominent peaks in the range include Hagues Peak, Ypsilon Mountain, Mummy Mountain, and Mount Chiquita. These peaks are easily accessible via the Lawn Lake trail leading to "the Saddle" between Hagues Peak and Fairchild Mountain and, on the southwestern end, the Chapin Pass trail from the Fall River road. Some offer reasonably challenging technical routes but all can be ascended by steep hiking and mild scrambling after snow melt.
