On July 8, 2009 I summited four 14,000 ft peaks in the Mosquito Range in the Colorado Rockies.  The peaks were Mt. Democrat (14,148'), Mt. Cameron (14,238'), Mt. Lincoln (14,286), and Mt. Bross (14,172').  The hike started at Kite Lake (12,000').  The hike is a loop with a length of 7.25 miles.  Additional details of the trip can be found by clicking here.

Start of the hike.  The trail heads to the saddle in the middle of the

photo and then to the peak at the left of the photo (Mt. Democrat).

You then hike back down to the saddle and up the ridge line to the peak

on the right of the photo (Mt. Cameron)

View from the top of Mt. Democrat looking east.  The trail drops down the ridge line (back to the saddle)

and up the ridge line to Mt. Cameron (nearest peak) and then beyond to Mt. Lincoln (further peak).

After summiting Mt. Lincoln the trail goes along the ridge line to the right to Mt. Bross (not in photo)

the peak to the right of it is the first peak summited (Mt. Democrat)

Looking back at Mt. Democrat.  The trail can be seen zigzagging up the side

of the mountain to the saddle and then from the saddle to the peak.
