Trails: Mt Garfield, Garfield Ridge Trail/AT, Greenleaf Trail, Bike Path

Mileage 14.8

Who: Una_dogger, BobnGeri (Bob), Terra the Trail Dog

Conditions:
Mt Garfield trail - perfect, some nice new water bars and filling in of erroded areas

Garfield Ridge Trail - excellent. I like this much maligned section of trail between Garfield and N Lafayette. Bog bridges in good shape. Saw many campsites along ridge right off trail that could use some brushing over.

AT over N and Main Lafayette Peaks - excellent.

Greenleaf Trail below Hut to Rd: excellent shape and a really nice trail that I got to redline today. Looks to be a new slide to the south directly across from Eagle Cliff? Anyone know about it??

Summary: A great day to be out, had hoped to go all the way to Falling Waters descent but high winds, hail and spitting rain above treeline shortened our trip. :)

2nd time on Garfield, 2nd time in fog. 6th time on Lafayette, making it my most climbed 4k in the Whites!
