I parked at the Mesa trailhead and realized that I only had a $20 bill and parking was $5 exact change. (You're welcome city of Boulder)
I made decent time until I hit the Shadow Canyon Trail, then my calves were cramping the rest of the way up. It was really hot and I'd already burned through a liter of water before I reached the saddle between Bear & South Boulder. I went to Bear Peak first, then South Boulder where I chilled for awhile and re-hydrated. There was a ton of people up there, many waiting for the snow to melt up high like me.
