"8am start up the steep portion and looped it back down the valley trail. Earlier start would’ve helped avoid the heat but overall, a lovely day for a Boulder hike. Pretty views and great company. " — Katamount • May 28, 2024
"Quick leg up with Owen to check out Sacred Cliffs. Always a lovely view from the peak. Snow was manageable without traction but had to take it slow on some parts of the downhill." — benyboy • Jan 3, 2024
"Day hike with Zander. 3rd and last route up Bear Peak. Started late due to oversleeping after Men I Trust concert in Denver so we finished the descent and return in the dark. Good time overall though." — benyboy • Oct 24, 2023
