Mount Democrat, Mountain summit in Park County and Lake County, United States.

Mount Democrat is a mountain summit in the Mosquito Range of Colorado, USA, rising to about 14,152 feet (4,312 m) above sea level. The upper terrain is open and rocky, with loose scree fields and wide views of the surrounding high peaks along the ridge.

The peak was first called Republic Mountain, then Mount Buckskin, after the nearby town named for Joseph "Buckskin Joe" Higginbottom. After Mount Lincoln was named in 1861, Southerners who supported the Democratic Party gave the peak its current name, and it appeared on official maps in 1883.

The peak's name comes from Southerners who backed the Democratic Party after Mount Lincoln was named in 1861; it appeared on official maps in 1883. Earlier names were Republic Mountain and Mount Buckskin, the latter from the nearby town named for Joseph "Buckskin Joe" Higginbottom. Hikers today often climb it first in the DeCaLiBron Loop, which links Mount Democrat, Mount Cameron, Mount Lincoln and Mount Bross.

The climb starts from the Kite Lake trailhead, which sits at high elevation and is most accessible in summer once snow has cleared from the trail. Setting out early in the morning is strongly advised, as afternoon thunderstorms are common on the ridge.

The Kentucky Belle Mine, at about 12,400 feet along the trail, worked gold and silver from the 1900s and left visible remains. Its shafts and tunnels still make going off-trail risky, and liability concerns over these hazards led landowners to close access in 2021, when annual visitors dropped from 25,000 to 8,000.
