Mount Garfield via Garfield Trail
Sunday March 8, 2015
Trail Conditions: Excellent snow shoe track all the way to the summit. Plenty of parking on US 3 on the shoulder. Water crossings bridged, a couple easy blow downs. A lot powder off the snow shoe track. The upper half of trail has a foot or more of powder on the sides on the trail. Some drifting just before the intersection with the Garfield Ridge trail
Special Equipment Required: Without snow shoes or skis, you are going to occasionally post hole. Below the switchbacks (2700'), the trail is skiing very well (or boarding in my case). There's a lot of power above but the trail is narrow and grown in and it's mostly survival skiing.
