Tour de Boulder

Posted onMay 12, 2014August 7, 2014AuthorPaul Mags2 Comments

A walk through the Boulder open space taking in six peaks, 22+ miles or so and many thousands of feet of vertical gain and loss. Nice way to kick off the season.

After an informative day of workshops, meetings, a After an informative day of workshops, meetings, and lectures @ramblinghemlock went higher into the nearby mountains to check out some canyons on the map. As with many of our recent trips, we went on a hunch, looked at some maps, and found some oblique references in academic journals. 
...
We saw evidence of many different eras - pre-1920s ranching days, Ute images, and much evidence of Ancestral Pueblo habitation. 
...
Many people came through this area over the years and continue to do into the modern times.

This past weekend proved an excellent one as we saw both a great archeological talk and a star talk, enjoyed hiking along lightly visited trails and canyons, and ended the weekend at an amazing dispersed site where a roaring creek provided the aural backdrop for a memorable sunset.

@ramblinghemlock and I spent a weekend at an isolated car camping spot and based ourselves out of it for the weekend. If we hiked and roamed canyons last weekend, we walked along rim-top and nearby placed to see areas towards the latter years of the Ancestral Pueblo settlements in this location.

On our last day, we looked at a map, had a hunch, and hiked to a structure reminiscent of the well-known "The Citadel" overlooking the canyon below. The chokepoints were all defended by walls.
