 | Comments: |
We lost the trail on the final approach of North Twin and ended up stomping around until we pushed up to the summit, climbing our way to the top! After North, we enjoyed an easy traverse over to South Twin. While we considered adding Garfield to the day, but between the winds on South and having some damp layers from the constant snowfall this morning, we decided to head down Gale River Trail and leave Galehead for another day. |
