Chilly Thursday morning to start but we had hoped to get most of the day done without incoming rain. We did succeed in that as it was all sleet and snow mainly falling on us for about 4 hours of the day. The sleet actually covered the trail in our way back. We encountered some snow and on and off monorails around 3900 feet and used the ghost spikes here. After summiting Garfield we headed down to the Garfield tent site to see how it was looking there since my husband is planning a 2 day Pemi loop with a stay there in a couple weeks. No real snow there . Beautiful shelter! Three bear boxes present too. The GRT is just as terrible as I remember it, Rocky uneven footing and still some ice and snow in a few spots there. The water source was running strong. |
