Mt. Cameron

Mount Cameron is a distinct, flat-topped peak in the Mosquito Range that is not officially ranked as a standalone 14er because its saddle with Mount Lincoln fails to meet the 300-foot prominence threshold. Despite this, it is frequently climbed as part of the popular Decalibron loop from Kite Lake and is likely named for Simon Cameron, Abraham Lincoln’s first Secretary of War.
