Saw 10 hikers today heading to Galehead and South Twin. Another really nice day. Blue sky, light breeze, temps from 30 to 40. Nice lunch break at the hut before and after climbing Galehead. Lots of ice on the trails today, used stabilicers and poles. Frozen mud on relocated section of Gale River Trail made for easy walking. |
