Mount Bross is a high mountain summit in the Mosquito Range of the Rocky Mountains of North America. The 14178feet fourteener is located in Pike National Forest, 6.6km (04.1miles) northwest by north (bearing 327°) of the Town of Alma in Park County, Colorado, United States.[1] [2] [3] [4] Mount Bross is named in honor of William Bross, who owned property in the area.[6]
It is often climbed together with Mount Lincoln and nearby Mount Democrat.[7]
In 2005, the summit of Mount Bross was closed to the public because of safety concerns related to mines and trail access through private land.[8] [9] [10]
