 | Comments: |
Bare boots for the first couple miles road walking and starting up North Twin, then snowshoes for the rest. Trail is nicely packed up to North Twin. Hiking up to South Twin from North, there were some drifts and evidence some people had fallen into spruce traps. Broken trail but loose snow on Twinway descending from S Twin. Didn't look like anyone else had been up Galehead, I broke it out but definitely lost the trail a couple of times so it's a little sloppy. Garfield Ridge Trail after Gale River Trail junction was gnarly: deep snow and lots of trees bowed into the trail covered in heavy snow and ice. Descent on Mt Garfield trail beautifully packed out and chill. |
