Arrived at the TH before sunrise, there were about 10 cars there from over night folks.
Another great water filled loop hike, complete with a short sandy beach nap along Boulder Canyon about half way up from 2nd water. Still plenty of water in Boulder, it's beckoning another campout before it dries up. Did the loop clockwise this time, saw a group of 8 heading up Battleship about 1/4 mile ahead of me so I passed on that and kept going upstream. Once I hit the Dutchman's it was kind of slow going for the 4 miles back to First Water TH. Almost got trampled by a crazy horse about half way back. This thing was galloping down the trail, with saddle in place and all, but no rider. Two others on horses came along shortly after to catch it.
