It's actually been a while since I did a hike by myself. It makes em really happy that my daughter and wife have been wanting to join me on a lot of trips, but there's something to be said for the solitude that recharges you. I read an article about the "Boulder Traverse" that spans the five major peaks that overlook Boulder. Some crazy people do all five of these in one day. Maybe there will be a time when that's in the cards but for now, I'm setting a goal of climbing all five of them by the end of the year.
The peaks include South Boulder, Bear Peak, Green Mountain, Flagstaff, and Mt. Sanitas. I've already got Sanitas and South Boulder done, so I thought a mid-week morning would be a perfect opportunity to check another one off. This hike tends to be a very busy one on the weekends so it seemed like a good idea to tackle it when there were less people around.
