| Comments: |
AMC-NH hike, led by Mike and Alex. Broke out Garfield Trail and Garfield Ridge to the summit, in 6-8 inches of light powder. Thin cover on the lower ~1 mile of Garfield Trail, Gale River Road packed by snowmobiles. Barely a breath of wind until the summit. Great day to hit this peak! 4 to go for winter. |
