This was one of our less common mid-week trips. The weather was clear and cool in Boulder, but chilly with a bit of snow near Brainard. Last year there were so many hikers signed up that some had to be turned away, but this year only six signed up.

Only a bit less that 300 feet vertical gain on this trip.

Taking a break before turning around.
