Ignore its unappealing name. This mountain offers rewarding vistas.

Mosquito Mountain has a very unappealing name. I don’t like mosquitoes or black flies and do my best to avoid them when outdoors. After decades of scrupulous plotting and scheming, I’ve become quite adept at eluding the nasty bloodsuckers. And I can say with great certainty that mosquitoes will not be encountered on Mosquito Mountain, near West Forks, in January. Mosquito Mountain deserves a better name.
