Another color explosion with the South Arapahoe Peak in the background.
Second photo is from tonight’s hike to Mount Sanitas and the view of the same peak in the Indian Peaks… which one? If you know, you know

Explosion of Color!
Explosion of color! I took a break at this spot and enjoyed this view for good 15-20 minutes. How could you not enjoy it?
I was really hoping that some random moose would show up at that small lake below, as it is pretty isolated and very few humans find their way to it.
The mountain on the other side is probably one of the most visited 13ers in the Boulder vicinity.

Another view from the South Arapahoe Peak
Looking south from the South Arapahoe Peak. Alpine lakes are really cool to see from a distance. It’s cool to hike up to them as well and feel the cold clean water. On the second image to right is Lake Dorothy. We hiked there last year right around this time and there were no snow. This year its already covered.

South Arapahoe Peak
Looking north from the South Arapahoe Peak, 13,400″ high. Right in front of us is the Arapahoe Glacier. This is where we get our drinking water in Boulder. Boulder actually owns this Glacier. Water is scarce in the front range, owning your own Glacier does help with securing its supply.
This is looking east from the same spot. Those lakes below get their water from the Arapahoe Glacier and this is where one of the branches of the Boulder Creek finds it start.
