View from South Boulder Peak

Well, we finally conquered South Boulder Peak (a.k.a. The Trail).  This one happened to be about 7 miles round trip, through fields and over a stream.  So why call it The Trail?  The last mile has about 1900′ of elevation gain, up a rocky, at times hard to see trail.  The next 0.25 miles involves bouldering.  The view from the top is worth it, though.  We had a clear day and could see the mountain ranges behind the flatirons.  One word of caution, though – bring more water than you think you’ll need.
