Comments
Comments: Very windy and cold at the Skookumchuck and Garfield Ridge trail intersection. Attempted to reach Mt.Garfield but time was not on our side due to winds so retraced our steps back to the car. Beautiful views. Did not see one person on the Skookumchuck Trail but several on the Garfield Ridge - 2 fellows hiking to the hut - dressed in coats, hats and gloves! They were prepared for the worse!
