Bosterson went hiking July 7, 2013 12 miles 6,750 feet gained
Drove out Saturday evening and camped at the trailhead. 4am start on the trail - no snow for the first couple of miles. Lots of meltout compared to when I was last here two years ago. There wasn't as much of a staircase up to Piker's Peak as the last time. Summit around 10:30 or so, followed by at least 4000 ft of glissading, basically summit to snow line. First time on a Flying Carpet - the trip from Piker's down to the Lunch Counter was 2000 ft in about 5 minutes, tops. A lovely day with a lovely lady on a mountain.
