Mount Democrat is a 14,152-foot mountain located in the Mosquito Range of central Colorado. It is one of the state's 58 fourteeners and is commonly climbed by hikers because of its relatively easy trail. Mount Democrat is often part of the DeCaLiBron Loop, which connects four nearby peaks. The mountain also has a history of mining, with old mine remains still visible. Access to the mountain has changed over time because of private land issues, but public access has recently been restored.
