Great day on Garfield. The road walk is firm and in great shape. Lots of SnoMo traffic but all respectful. Mt Garfield trail is in great shape end to end. Most everyone had snowshoes aside from a handful of bare booters, very minor roto-tilling. Garfield Ridge was rough broke to Galehead. Some good buttsledding from the summit to the junction. We opted for a little bit of off trail fun and went full bushwhacko on the switchbacks on the way down. Follow them if you're a loon but only in snowshoes :)
Snowshoes car to car. Great day with friends for 44/48 ssw |
