I Was the Highest Woman in Boulder

My brother and I plan to knock out a few 14ers this month so I thought I better start conditioning for it. Here is an account of yesterday's adventure.


The Goal: Bear Peak West Ridge (8461 ft. - highest point in Boulder)



I don't remember seeing so many wildflowers in Colorado. Ever!



The view of Boulder from the top...



...and the continental divide.



All in all a great hike! I've heard the trail is always crowded, but I didn't see a soul all the way up. I hung out at the top for a while and finally saw some folks when I started the descent. The solitude made for some quality worship time which was much needed.
