 | Comments: |
If you ever want to hike Garfield now is the time. Trail conditions were perfect with minimal mud, dry ground, some leaves covering rocks. Stream crossings were easy, views were clear and crisp. If you see a wet rock make sure it isn't ice covered (I didn't). Some ice on last section before summit but plenty of dry rocks - no spikes needed. |
