The DeCaLiBron Loop | Hiking DeCaLiBron Counter-Clockwise and Bagging Four of Colorado's 14ers

The Decalibron Loop is a hike near Alma, CO that always you to reach the summit of four of Colorado's 14ers. Decalibron gets its name from the combination of Mounts Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln, and Bross.
Since it's a loop, Decalibron can be done clockwise or counter-clockwise. We chose to start counter-clockwise and headed up Mount Bross first. We reached the summit right at sunrise to spectacular views. From there it was an easy walk along the ridge to the summits of Lincoln and Cameron.
After Cameron, we descended down to a saddle between Cameron and Democrat. Here, the trail continues up to the summit or turns to go back down to the trailhead. It appears that A LOT more people come out just to hike to the summit of Democrat than to do the DeCaLiBron loop as we passed a large number of people at this point.
Democrat is probably the steepest actual hiking of the four 14ers, but nothing technical. The summit offers incredible 360-degree views!
Overall, this hike is great for beginners looking to get some 14ers under their belt.

Super episode bud! Great atmosphere and shots of this amazing trail. I like the fact that you were very descriptive of the hike.

[@marriedmountaineers]

Thank you for your kind words!

The Summit of Mt Bross is private property, and hikers are not allowed up there. There are warning signs EVERYWHERE.

[@jon22522]

things have changed, they want you to sign a waiver, then you are free to hike to it.

[@Valaran1]

@@jon22522 No, you are not. The waiver does not allow you to access the summit of Bross.

[@ashleybutler6829]

@@jon22522this is not true! the waiver allows you to be on the peak, but the summit is still off limits

@@jon22522 This is incorrect. The waiver allowed you to hike everywhere BUT the summit of Bross.
