 | Comments: |
Long loop day hike from Gale River Loop Road. Garfield campsite is in really good shape. The log shelter is a work of art! Galehead hut was busy. Lots of hikers enjoying lunch on the porch.In general the trails were all wetter than I would expect this time of year. Lots of mud and standing water. |
