Comments
Comments: Beautiful clear Saturday for hiking, felt more like a mid-Fall hike. Lots of mud on the trail, but it can be avoided without too much difficulty. Some ice near the summit, mostly between the rocks on the Garfield Ridge Trail. We brought microspikes, but didn't use them. FYI a Park Ranger stopped by in the morning and was warning us about recent car break-ins at the trailheads in the area.
