 | Comments: |
Blue sky day today on Garfield. We had some sprinkles on the way down, but we were not bothered the entire way up. At 3500 feet, the monorail started. While up to the junction of the Garfield Ridge Trail you could bare-boot it, I wound not want to go the last 0.2 miles up that super steep incline without spikes. All and all a wonderful day. I'm so glad the gate is open. |
