If you've spent today hiking the DeCaLiBron Loop, then you've likely spent at least a couple hours hiking at elevations above 14,000'. This cache will give you a chance to head down in elevation to the rich, thick atmosphere at 13,980' to stock up on some oxygen before making the final push back down to your vehicle.
From South Bross, continue down the ridge to the south, and you will get spectacular views of Mt. Buckskin to the west, and Mt. Democrat to the northwest. Several cirques are visible, attesting to the glaciation that once sculpted these mountains.
The cache is located in a low cairn of white rock. Many of these rocks have red, yellow, orange, or black lichen on them, which are aiding in early stages of weathering the rocks into soil.
