Date of Hike: 6/2/13
Garfield & Garfield Ridge Trail: 10.0 miles (3,000 feet)
Trip Report:
- On Sunday I met Bob & Geri, and Dusty for a quick hike up Mount Garfield.
- I was surprised to see how muddy the trail was after 4 days of hot, dry weather. The small water crossings were a lot of fun for the Dusty.
- As we hiked up we could here thunder off in the distance and after a few rumbles Dusty decided it was enough as he just sat down and wanted to go home! So B&G&D headed back as I continued on.
- When I hit Garfield Ridge Trail the weather changed in one second and it started down pouring. I would expect no less from my old nemesis. I banged a right and continued toward the summit as the heavens opened up but I decided to turn back and quickly head down to avoid being stuck in thunder and lightening.
