Trip
Hiking – Mosquito Peak, Kuss Peak, Treasurevault Mountain, and Mount Tweto
This trip starts at a relatively high trailhead outside Alma and involves hiking on a combination of old mining roads and off trail ridge walking to create a loop summiting 2 ranked and 2 unranked 13ers in the Mosquito Range, including the range namesake. We will start from the parking lot and head towards the saddle between Kuss peak and London Mountain. If the entire group has interest we can make a side trip to London mountain from this saddle (another ranked 13er). Then we will continue our above treeline tour over each peak. After descending from Tweto we will rejoin a mining road that will lead us back to our cars.
