Fathers Day Hike - Three Boulder Peaks in under 4 hours !!

May 2009, Steffen and I completed 3 boulder peaks in under 5 hours. This year we redid the same trail and managed to complete it in under 4 hours...

We left at 6:23am from Gregory Canyon trailhead and reached the top of Green Mountain (2.7 miles) in 1 hour 10 minutes. after another 1 hour 5 minutes we made it to Bear Mountain (2.75 miles), then 18 minutes later we made it to the top of South Boulder (0.7 miles) , so technically 2 and a half hours to do all three peaks !!

Another 80 minutes of descending the last 3.3 miles saw us finish the hike at 10:16am.

This is 9.45 miles in 233 minutes or 2.5mph

According to the heart monitor, I burned 2,249 calories so enough to cover my steak for Fathers day, and an average hear rate of 115, peaking at 152 bpm

Here is the heart rate track
