A seldom visited peak, Horseshoe Mountain sits at 13,898 feet and is easily combined with other peaks on the same ridge in the Mosquito Range. There is a summit registry at the top accompanied by 360 degree views over Weston Pass, Horseshoe Pass, and into the Buffalo Peaks Wilderness.

The approach for the peak is very doable, but it's really rocky, and the trail seems to disappear at times. On your way to the summit, don't forget to stop at Horseshoe Pass and take in the views down into California Gulch.
