South Boulder Peak
Climbing South Boulder Peak via Shadow Canyon (or Bear Peak via Fern Canyon) is a great way to get in shape or prepare yourself for climbing higher peaks during the summer. Even the first part of the trail through prairie and then the Shadow Canyon drainage is a good workout. Shadow Canyon lives up to its name, a narrow canyon between South Boulder Peak and the ridge with the jutting outcrop of Devils Thumb.
