All trails are in great shape. There are a few old blow downs that now seem like old friends rather than a nuisance... I now remember when the become step overs in winter as opposed to walk unders. |

Weekend trip over these 4 peaks for various rounds, and the month of October (29 total now). All trails are in great shape. I am still not a fan of the Garfield Ridge Trail. Too many PUDS! All the blow downs are old and have been reported several time. Thoroughly enjoyed the weekend and I am glad I took the opportunity for one last camp out. Isis handled the cold temps like a boss by huddling and hogging my sleeping bag! |
