Comments
Comments: Garfield Trail is mostly dry with spots of mud on the lower section while higher up water was running on the trail in some areas. No problem on this small stretch of the Garfield Ridge Trail.

After seeing the MWOBS forecast for high winds in that region I called an audible and came here for the mostly wooded trail and wind blocks available at the summit. It seems like the wind was not that bad here today although soaking in the sun away from it was more enjoyable :) We spent >90 minutes at the summit simply enjoying a fine peak on a nice day. Thanks to KB for a fun trek!
