Mt. Bross is on private property, so it cannot be legally summited. This author will not express his views, but will inform readers that some areas of this rxh are excellent for trail running. This trail is entirely legal as it is mapped here - the summit is technically off limits.
The land manager requires leashes for all dogs. You'll see many dogs and few leashes.
Path Type
Point to Point
The descent from Bross is steep and unpleasant. Head left down the summit towards Kite Lake. Walk along dirt trails covered with loose talus. As the grade gets steeper, you'll begin to hike parallel to a drainage on your left. Eventually, the switchbacks will become more gradual as you approach Kite Lake. Once you're finished, you can relish the fact that you just summited four 14ers in a single day!
To those using this trail in the other direction: what are you doing? Mt. Bross is the worst 14er of DeCaliBron. Either do them all or just do Mt. Democrat East Slopes!
