To head back to your car, go due west from the top of Mount Bross and intersect a steep drainage which is composed of very loose talus rock. For every step you take, you will slide forward two more. You will be thankful you did not try to climb up this way. After the drainage flattens out, you will be back into vegetation again and some beautiful fields of wildflowers just east of Kite Lake. Your trip is complete.
Thunderstorms are a daily occurrence in the summer so start early in the day.
There are not many place to hide once the lightning begins to pound the ground. Take along plenty of warm clothing to prepare for cooler afternoon temperatures and strong peak winds. Also take sufficient drinking water because none is readily available.
