This bill officially renames the Mount Evans Wilderness in Colorado as the Mount Blue Sky Wilderness. It amends existing federal law to make this name change legally official, updating the specific statute that originally designated the area as wilderness. The bill also directs that any future references to the Mount Evans Wilderness in federal laws, maps, regulations, or other government documents will automatically be treated as referring to the newly named Mount Blue Sky Wilderness. This change primarily affects how the federally protected wilderness area is identified in official records and communications, though it does not alter the area's boundaries, management, or protected status. The renaming reflects the name used by the Arapaho and Cheyenne tribes and is intended to honor Native American heritage connected to the region.
