Buckhorn Peak is a ranked summit located on the toe of the ridge that separates Mormon Gulch from Uncle Ike Creek. It is surrounded by several other ranked summits and makes a good addition to a multi-peak adventure. In addition to the route described in the book, you can climb Buckhorn Peak via its broad west ridge from Uncle Ike Creek. Leave the creek at an elevation of roughly 7,000 feet. There are some cliffs on this big ridge but they are easily skirted. USGS Fallert Springs
