Answer:The explorations of Zebulon Pike:

Included Pike's successful climb to the top of the peak that now bears his name.

Explanation:

The Pike expedition was a reconnaissance campaign led by the captain of the United States Army Zebulon Pike (1778-1813) to explore the south and west of the newly acquired territories of the Louisiana Purchase.

After releasing several hostages, his soldiers and him passed through the Pawnee territory to whom he forced to change the flag and instructed about the new government.

Then the group split into two. One of them went downstream and the other arrived on November 15 to distant mountain that he called the Great Peak and which has since been known as Pikes Peak.
