 | Comments: |
Spent the night before camping off the Twinway before reaching Galehead hut,
saw lots of people coming towards me going in the opposite direction doing the Pemi Loop.
Also saw several thru hikers on the top of Garfield. They started in early March in Georgia got off the trail for about a month than got back on the AT.
Also met a woman near the Galehead hut who was thru hiking with her small dog started in Georgia in early March and has kept going north and reports doing well.
Beautiful views at the top of Mount Garfield. |
