Nature
Triplemint Peak is a steep 6,332-foot mountain in Alaska’s Talkeetna Mountains, north of Palmer in the Hatcher Pass Management Area. Near Troublemint Peak and reached by the Gold Mint Trail, it rises dramatically above the Little Susitna River, gaining about 3,350 feet in a mile on its west side. Runoff from the mountain feeds both the Little Susitna headwaters and Moose Creek, a tributary of the Matanuska River. Its alpine subarctic setting brings long snowy winters, short cool summers, and small persistent ice bodies on its north and south slopes. Although used locally and shown on maps, its name remains unofficial with the United States Board on Geographic Names.
