 | Comments: |
Great loop on this warm beautiful day! Lots of leaves off the trees down low made for some tricky footing in places. Gale River trail had quite a bit of dry mud on reroute, (once it rains, it has potential to be a mess). Blue sky and white birch trees on Twinway were wonderful!
13 Falls tentsite in good shape, passed 2 guys who had stayed the night before. New Garfield shelter is georgeous! I could live there!
