depends on the weather, and if its day hike or not. not a good day hike, unless your a peakbagger who walks past sunlight or you dont stop much to smell the roses. if you day it, go from the northwest, but remember that area, and that mountain as well as the twins are cold, and exposed to northwest Canadian wind, and with the broad plains north of the peak, you'll be the first windbreak for a large area if the weather is dodgy. otherwise just go up to gale-head hut. Beautiful trail, huge spruces on the way up, then stay at garfield tentsite after scoping the view and clouds/weather from the hut. You can climb up on top of the propane tank holding box out back to look over towards garfield better from the hut. That entire route is mostly sheltered except for a stretch by the hut going west towards Garfield briefly. Garfield trail from that side is much safer and sheltered more. whats great is that you can come from the east even if its windy and cold, and only pop out exposed on the summit area for like 6 minutes of walking in thinner trees and only a few hundred feet of open area,; enjoy your views and then duck back down into the trees before you go into deep freeze. Do Galehead on your way back. Its easy but save your fresh legs for garfield steep summit cone. If its dicey weather over at garfield or just nasty but you enjoy the woods there( a very quiet, still, wonderful place) then just camp somewhere around galehead area and maybe you can enjoy some lazy in and out of the clouds views from galehead. I would NOT plan on doing a dayhike up to galehead and over to garfield and back. I see all kinds of kooks these days doing the storm-trooper weekend warrior routine, but I dont subscribe to it. The area west of galehead is a special place, even without alot of views or in snowy/cloudy weather, its something you don't want to miss, but you'll never notice it if your in a rush or everyones gabbing. make sure to take in the stars at galehead hut and mountain if you up there at night. a good dark hemmed in spot with good views from eastto south east sky.
Goodluck
