 | Comments: |
Mt. Garfield was #11 on Brandi's Quest for the NH 48. This mountain was one of the easier 4000 footers. With that said, keep in mind that it is still a 10 mile round trip hike. The views from the summit, are superb. Clouds had started to roll in, but the sun did eventually burn them off. Total time to hike the 10 miles round trip including more than 1/2 hour on the summit was 6 hours.
We did post a video of our adventure for anyone who might be interested in seeing it, just click on the link.
