It is one of four peaks that surround Pioneer Basin, 5 miles (8.0 km) northwest of Mount Crocker, 2 miles (3.2 km) northeast of Mount Hopkins, and 1.8 miles (2.9 km) south-southwest of Mount Stanford. The mountain was named for Collis Potter Huntington, one of the builders of the Central Pacific Railroad.
