Nature
Troublemint Peak is a steep 6,801-foot mountain in Alaska’s Talkeetna Mountains, north of Palmer in the Hatcher Pass Management Area. Rising about 3,800 feet above the Little Susitna River in one mile, it stands between drainage flowing west to the Little Susitna headwaters and east to Moose Creek, a tributary of the Matanuska River. Its northwest slope supports the Mint Glacier in a subarctic climate of long, snowy winters and short, cool summers. Named in July 1968 by Curt and Gretchen Wagner, it is part of a cluster of playfully named peaks near the glacier. Charles A. McLaughlin made the first recorded ascent on August 17, 1969.
