Water at Longs Peak Boulder Field?
Is there water flowing at the Boulder Field that I can filter or do I need to bring the day's water? Thanks!

Re: Water at Longs Peak Boulder Field?
Yes, there is. There's a small stream that is *visible* near the large cairn. However, if you listen closely, you'll hear quite a bit of water flowing *under* the boulders in the boulder field. If you're able to find a break in the rocks, you may be able to find water closer to the Keyhole than at the large cairn. That said, please beware the water near the upper latrines lol.
Destitutus ventis, remos adhibe.

Yep, as of yesterday July 14th it was flowing nicely, I filtered after my climb of Longs.
