Thanks to the folks who broke out Garfield Trail after the Fri-Sat Nor’easter. It was a lovely, smooth snowshoe track from parking area to summit! We wore snowshoes car to car, as did one other hiker. The last hiker we met was bare booting and carrying no snowshoes...
We took a few creative alternatives on our way out.
Views are phenomenal right now due to deep snowpack!
Congratulations to FP for gridding out March!!! |
