Date of Hike: 12/30/14
Trails: Road Walk, Garfield Trail, Garfield Ridge Trail, Frost Trail, Gale River Trail
Special Equipment: Light Traction
Trail Condition / Comments: It was really cold out this morning so we hiked at a quick pace to keep warm. It really didn't feel that cold until the summit when we got the full arctic chill after just a few minutes. Trails down low are a mix of snow cover, bare ground, ice, water. The snow at upper elevations is solid and light traction worked fine. In-between Garfield and Galehead there's not much use so it's choppy with some minor punching through in spots. Water crossings had ice covered rocks to hop across so it was a little adventurous. Nice early morning hike with Whitney, Kyle D, Tim, and Gryffin the Golden Retriever. Report / Pictures
