Nice day for this peak tho limited views!!! Gale River Trail was broken out somewhat but filled with fluffy snow. Garfield Ridge not broken out - followed a lone, barely perceptible set of tracks. Broke out Frost Trail somewhat - proud I was able to follow the corridor this time and not get lost :) Still pretty drifty - snowshoes are the way to go right now!!!!
On the way back, lots of friendly snowmobile traffic on Gale River Road. FUN DAY!!!!! |
