I love this hike, but it's been a few years since I've been all the way to the peak. Low temps put this one in play so I decided to go for it. An unexpected benefit was a nice breeze and cloud cover, even a few sprinkles, on the ascent. That lasted until just before I reached the Flatiron. The remainder of the hike was in bright sunshine.

I spent much of the uphill passing and being passed by a man named Kieth. He's training for something big in Colorado so he also chose to take advantage of the great weather to hit the Flatiron. While chatting up top, Kieth saw a couple of people on the peak. He wondered aloud about the route. I offered to show him. He accepted, so we bagged the peak as well.

Perfect day for a Siphon Draw hike. Very few people on the trail and you couldn't ask for better weather in May.
