Garfield on a beautiful fall day. Ice above 2700 feet but manageable without added traction. Water flowing down trail so a few freeze cycles and it will be slick.
Fair number of blowdowns, normal don’t clear non-adopted trails but removed a few blowdowns and danglers today to make trail easier come winter.Beautiful out and jays visited at top but had no interest in my bacon and pepperoni lunch.
Did not care for the artistic graffiti in several spots, but didn’t have supplies to try and remove. |
