Re: Kite Lake, Lincoln, Cameron, Democrat Open?
I was out at kite Lake on Friday (6/18) and saw no indication that anything other than Bross was closed. Who do we check with regarding the closure of Democrat and Lincoln?BillMiddlebrook wrote: ↑Mon Jun 07, 2021 3:46 amYesHikerDan75 wrote: ↑Sun Jun 06, 2021 9:06 pm I understand that the land owners have closed the 14ers around kite lake but can hikers access Buckskin and Loveland from this trailhead?

Re: Kite Lake, Lincoln, Cameron, Democrat Open?
I am looking for information on this also. Five of us traveling the first week of August and are looking to hike Lincoln, Democrat, Cameron and Bross. If all but Bross are open, is there a route for just the other 3?

"Kite Lake Campground is currently open for the season. However, the trails to Mt. Democrat, Mt. Lincoln, Mt. Bross, and Mt. Cameron are still closed."
I wouldn't make any plans to climb Lincoln, Cameron, Democrat, Bross in 2021. The owners have closed the summits and it's going to take some time to resolve the insurance/liability issues to enable them to open again.
