| BLong | Great Hike  Date Climbed: Sep 15, 2009 | |
| I intended to combine this peak with several other 13ers around Willow Basin during an overnight trip. Conditions were perfect the first day, so I took the opportunity to climb Buckskin. Unfortunately, that night it stormed hard and the snow made it difficult to climb anything the next day. I uploaded several new photos to the Buckskin album. Hope you enjoy! | |

| This was the most beautiful hike I have ever been on! From start to finish, the scenery was just amazing! We attempted to summit via the saddle from the Willow Lake Trail but it was blocked by snow, even this late into August. We hiked down to the Buckskin Pass/Willow Pass junction and summitted via Buckskin Pass - and went up the easy tundra slog from that pass. I had the summit all to myself - even on a Sunday! | |

| This is a cool, overlooked 13er with both a rugged and docile personality. Sweet views to be had on this one. Check out UN 13039 to the south. | |

| altitude14er | Route Climbed: 'South Ridge' / Buckskin Pass Date Climbed: Jul 11, 2009 | |
| Me and my dear friend Jeff backpacked to the N.Maroon Peak trail junction..arriving at midnight..slept 6 hours and hiked up to the summit. It's often more magnificent (to me) to be in the presence of the 14ers vs. being on them, just my opinion! 13ers have a lot to offer the climber! | |

| lingana | Got Acclamatized ! Date Climbed: Sep 2, 2006 | |
| Went to the Buckskin Pass hike, with a bunch of friends. This was primarily meant for acclamatizing for the Mt. Elbert climb the next day...proved a bit strenuous, but I am sure, helped us the next day. | |

| What an enjoyable day! A hike up into the Maroon Bells-Snowmass wilderness with perfect weather and autumn foliage! Once we left the photographers down at the lakes, we didn’t see anyone for the rest of the morning except a group of climbers going up Point 12,942. The views from the top were great, Snowmass, Capitol, Pyramid, and of course the Bells. On the way down we started to see more and more people. From Crater Lake on down the trail was full of tourists. If we hadn’t had to be back down in Aspen by a certain time, we would have taken the loop route back to the trailhead. | |

| kjkrow | Route Climbed: From Buckskin Pass Date Climbed: July 2001 | |
| As one of my first larger summits, this climb helped me fall in love with the mountains. The climb from the pass is a walk up the tundra with amazing views of 6 surrounding 14ers and countless other peaks. Though a hike, it's a farily long and parts are fairly steep. Like Kane, I would love to return to Buckskin for the views, and try his route the next time I return. I would highly recommend this to anyone interested in the Maroon-Snowmass Wilderness as a non-technical ascent. | |

| If you want views, this mountain may be the best one around the Maroon Lake area. Such an easy hike for such a fantastic reward. Loved this mountain and will return someday. | |
