In Search of Robbers Roost

A hike starting at Carney Springs trailhead to Boulder Saddle then north. We never found the actual "Robbers Roost" location, but explored the boulder-y surroundings and returned the way we came. Watched the shadows lengthen and the sun set before hiking back to the parking area.
