 | Comments: |
Forecast had the potential to be socked in but ended up being a banner day on Garfield. Leaves were not very slippery down low, and while there was ice above ~3800' it was mostly on the short stretch at the top on the Garfield Ridge Trail and easy to rock hop without spikes as it was above freezing so the rocks weren't icy. It won't take much precipitation/cold temps to make this stretch micro spike worthy. Some pics in the link below. |
