Slept in on Saturday and waited for the cooler temps on Sunday. Only a about 5 other scars at the Trailhead at 6:40am. I could see rain in the distance but it didn't look bad. It was cool with a breeze and I didn't get rain until Garden Valley. Mostly sprinkles but rain for about 5 minutes 3 separate times between Second Water and Boulder Canyon trails. Second Water trail is good Boulder Canyon trail was easy to follow (creek crossings obscured by the high grass) until about a 1/4 mile passed the Cavalry Trail junction. The Boulder Canyon trail could use some work between Cavalry & Dutchman but if you pay attention you'll make it through ok. Clouds kept the sun off for most of the hike. Several hikers out enjoying the perfect weather but no crowds.
