Mount Buckskin, Mountain summit in Mosquito Range, Colorado, USA
Mount Buckskin rises to an elevation of 13,865 feet with two distinct summits connected by a ridge spanning 0.3 miles in the Colorado mountains.
The mountain received its name from a local figure known as Buckskin Joe, who left his mark on the region during Colorado's early settlement period.
The northeast slopes of Mount Buckskin serve as a training ground for mountain climbers preparing to tackle the more demanding peaks in the Mosquito Range.
Access to Mount Buckskin begins at Kite Lake trailhead, requiring a parking fee and offering camping facilities for visitors planning extended mountain expeditions.
The mountain features a connecting ridgeline to Loveland Mountain, enabling climbers to complete a three-peak traverse different from standard routes in the area.
