Well well well… I was going to do owlshead but too tired so Garfield it was. Snow started abruptly at 3961’ and lasted until about 4056’ for about a solid .1 then it went in an out on spots. Then nothing until the junction. A lot of the .2 to the summit was still snow/ice. I barebooted to the summit but spiked that .2 down as some spots were too icy to worry when I carried them anyways. Lots of people out, a lot with spikes and some without. Got some views on top and a little mist on the way up and down. The more warm weather, the more snowmelt! The trail had lots of running water on it from snowmelt up high too. |
