Hiking Green Mountain with the boys

This was the second of our Boulder hikes and I chose Green Mountain which tops out at 8,150 feet.  We went on a different trail than I had been before, that involved taking a ladder up part of the trail due to flooding a few years ago.

The boys were great hiking up the rocky trail and we made it to the top in 3 hours, gaining 2,916 feet. We came down the easier trail on the way back and only took 2 hours and 11 minutes (for comparison Steffen and I hiked up this part of the trail in just over 1 hour a few years ago).

The boys enjoyed their hike, and are looking forward to the next one (South Boulder, Bear or both).
