After skiing in the new snow up in the mountains on Saturday, I returned to Boulder’s week-old snow for a hike up the Mallory Cave Trail.
Unlike last week’s deep snow hike up Green Mountain, today the trails were well backed until the very upper reaches of the trail.
Many of these formations are ones I’ve scrambled up before and seeing them again had me looking forward to a warmer season when I’d be able to climb over dry rock.
As a hike the out-n-back is less than 3 miles but takes you closer to more rock formations than maybe any other trail in the flatirons.
