 | Comments: |
The trail starts out with virtually no snow and then turns to a frozen water flow. Ascending to higher levels there is a well packed monorail with minor postholing. I was able to use microspikes for the entire hike. The Garfieldto the summit is well packed as well and minor postholing made for great footholds. Snowshoes went along for the ride today
