Comments
Comments: As above, trail very wet today with running water on the steep descent on Garfield Ridge trail east of the .2 mile final approach to Garfield summit making for treacherous descent toward the camping area. Muddy mess on Gale River trail. Garfield trail was wet but no problem navigating around the muddy areas.
