 | Comments: |
While the water crossings were easy, there were a couple of muddy spots (no standing water), and the rocks on the upper half of the climb were wet and somewhat slick. Plenty of folks out hiking today, and the views from the summit were spectacular. This was my first time up Garfield, and it is now among my favorites! |
