Know Before You Go:

  • Day-use fee is cash only, payment box is located in the lot

  • Use Mountain Forecast to check the weather and start early ~4:00am

  • You will be hiking above the tree-line; bring layers and sunscreen

  • We recommend starting clockwise for less elevation gain and to avoid ascending on gravel

  • The descent from Mount Bross has extremely loose gravel/scree; be ready to butt slide, take your time and get your hands dirty

  • Hiking poles would be helpful for this long day-hike

  • Park at Kite Lake Trailhead; free dispersed camping is available further down the road
