The Gore Range/Boulder Lake

A great hike today, one that will be added to a top ten list for many of our readers.  We started at the Rock Creek TH, 2.8 mi. West of Highway 9, and 7.7 mi. North of Silverthorne.  At the TH by 9:15, we wasted no time getting on trail.  The TH is at 9,443' elev.  We reached 10,195' at one point.  Total elevation gain for the day was 2,923'.  Total mileage today was 10.9.  The hike took 4 hrs. 49 min. to complete at an average speed of 1.68 mph.  My next post will describe trail conditions, scenery, wildlife, and an opinion.
