Comments
Comments: Hot muggy day but nice breeze for most of the day. Great views on Garfield towards Franconia Ridge. Hazy towards hut. Lots of wet slippery rock on way to hut. PUDS not as bad as I remembered. Lots of folks at the hut. Mask required inside, water spigot on side of hut. Dropped pack quick to Galehead. Lots of people heading up as we headed down. Great day to be out, fantastic weather & conditions!
