 | Comments: |
5 snowshoed up today; 2 down; with the other 3 tackling Garfield Ridge Tr. over to Garfield. Fairly well packed; but still in need of more snowshoe TLC. Winds were cranking up dropping snow from trees into trail and it had started lightly snowing mid afternoon. Thanks Emerel for trailhead info and to all those packing trail out; whether here or on other trails. Lots of snow!! |
