Basecamp for DeCaLiBro

Stunningly beautiful setting right at the base of Colorado 14ers Democrat, Cameron, Lincoln and Bross. There are a handful of dispersed sites available along the 4x4 road leading up to the Kite Lake Campground in addition to those in the campground. There is a lot of early morning traffic from people coming to hike DeCaLiBro so don't plan on sleeping in but you'll want to get up early anyways to see the sunrise over the mountains. I visited in mid-June 2017 and the 4x4 road was in excellent shape until the final 100 yards before Kite Lake. I couldn't make it to the parking lot with my Subaru Outback. Vehicles with higher clearance made it.
