Comments
Comments: All trails are broken out, some minor drifting in spots leading up to the hut and summit but were broken out and beaten down by the end of the day. Our group of four didn't need snowshoes but if I was solo hiking I would have had them on from Garfield Ridge Trail junction to summit.



Did run into another hiker who came over from Garfield and heading up to South Twin who was contemplating heading all the way across the Bonds and out to Lincoln Woods or going to N. Twin and out that way. So Garfield to Galehead is broken out by one and S. Twin to Guyot and the Bonds may be broken out but I wouldn't count on it.
