From Kite Lake campground.
TH 5:15, Democrat summit 6:22, Demo-Cam Saddle 7:43, Cameron 8:30, Lincoln 8:50, Bross 9:49, Kite lake 11:15.
Beat the huge crowds by leaving at 5 a.m. on the busy Labor day Sunday. Was funny watching from the top of Lincoln as the herd was heading up Democrat. Nice folks, great weather and some idiot has a nice Toyota Tundra buried to the axles on the side of Bross's hiking trail, ouch!

1h from trailhead, in time to watch the sun rise. Some nice folks gave me a breakfast burrito at the summit.

Nice hike. Camped at Kite Lake, so did a TON of other people. If your looking for solitude this is not the place to be. Still, incredibly beautiful, lots of fun, good weather and easy access.

We were trying to make a loop of the 4 summits in this area. We made it up Democrat and then thunder started moving in. We decided to bail and head back to the parking lot. By the time we got back down it was beautiful out again with no rain or thunder at all. So we were either a couple hours too late or an hour too early. Either way, fun summit, if not a little disappointing.
Bluebird day, amazing views of the Sawatch Range from Democrat's summit. Couldn't find the marker or the register though...anyone from the CFI care to place one?
