Denver Post reports The Conservation Fund recently purchased 58 parcels covering 480 acres on Mount Bross, one of four 14,000-foot peaks in the Decalibron Loop above Alma. But the summit of 14,178-foot Bross remains on private property and closed to the public. “It secures hiking access between Mount Lincoln and Mount Bross. For decades private property owners let hikers cross their land to reach the summits, making these some of the most popular 14ers in the state. “This is a national forest with thousands of acres of private land and we are helping to put the pieces back together.
