Nature
Doublemint Peak is a steep twin-spired granite mountain in Alaska’s Talkeetna Mountains, north of Palmer in the Hatcher Pass Management Area. Its higher south summit reaches 6,372 feet and the north summit 6,308 feet, with the mountain rising sharply 3,372 feet above the Little Susitna River in just one mile. Coined in July 1968 by Curt and Gretchen Wagner, the name reflects the resemblance of its towers to peaks in the Bugaboos and inspired nearby names such as Spearmint Spire and Triplemint Peak. Though locally used, the name remains unofficial. Its subarctic climate preserves remnants of the Doublemint and Mint glaciers.
