As long as we are talking about springs, there is one just to the south of the saddle that separates West and East Boulder Canyons, just south of Boulder Basin. As I recall, it's just on the west side of the saddle and in a ravine that runs down from the south.
Lots of vegetation around the spring and BEES. It makes a bit of noise as you work your way up the ravine it's located in.
It's always been my belief that, that is where Ruth was heading when he was killed. This despite the story of where his remains were found. If you read Sims' account of where they found Ruth's body, you will see the suggestion that I could be right.
Gene Reynolds had some information that confirmed that saddle as being what Ruth was looking for. He asked for and received a picture from me showing Weaver's Needle from the saddle. Said that was the view that Ruth was interested in.
As an interesting side note, that is the place where the old military trail crossed into West Boulder.
