I had been hearing stories from time to time about how Mt. Bross and Mt. Lincoln were no longer open. Along about the first week of September, I decided to see if that was true or false. It was. True or false that is. Depends on which one you are talking about.
I got up to about 11,000 feet or so on Mt. Lincoln and came upon a big ole steel gate with signs hanging all over it. Now I can’t say that was a big surprise. We’ve known all along that mountain belonged to somebody. It was just a matter of time before that somebody claimed it. For all practical
purposes, Mt. Lincoln is closed.
Mt. Bross was open though. I followed the road to Windy Ridge and found a big area with interpretive signs and a huge parking area. There were no signs saying the road was closed so I followed it to the top. What a top that is!
