Description

I had an errand to run in Boulder, Colorado, so I took the opportunity to do a quick hike to Mount Sanitas and add another summit to my peak list.  Two people literally got married a few minutes after I reached the top.  Apparently they met on Mount Sanitas, got engaged on Mount Sanitas, so they decided to get married on Mount Sanitas.  It took me 45 minutes to reach the summit from the trailhead at the end of Forest Avenue.  I actually got delayed on the descent as the park ranger closed the trail I came up because they were moving some cattle in the area.  After waiting a bit, the ranger basically told me to bushwhack back to the trailhead and do my best to avoid the cows.
