Mount Democrat - near Alma || August 31, 2024

Near the town of Alma, it’s a quick drive from the quaint town to the Kite Lake trailhead and is the first peak stop when undertaking the Decalibron.
This majestic beauty is the 29th highest peak in Colorado at 14,148 ft. Nestled in the Mosquito Range alongside Mt Bross, Mt Cameron, and Mt Lincoln, many underestimate this “easy” hike due to the high elevation start - this is still a Class 2 climb.
