Hiked up to Garfield tent site, set up camp and then summited Garfield. Icy wet rocks on the Garfield Ridge Trail leading down to the tent site. Great tent site, pretty sheltered from the wind which was good on Sunday night! Caretaker just packed up this weekend so site is now unstaffed. Excellent spring near the trail, fill up on water before hiking into the campsite as it is a bit of a walk uphill. |
