low ice NH4Ks

I would avoid it like the plague as slippery steep ice is a near-certainty. (see my previous post above)

clarification: I am referring to the section of AT between Mt Garfield and the shelter. I have been there but have not taken the Garfield Trail from Rt. 3 so cannot comment on that.

A stream crossing that you wouldn’t think twice about in the summer could be hazardous if icy.

Or easier if the ice is thick enough to walk on...

But usually harder during these transition seasons. Watch out for a thin coating of ice on the rocks which are above water. Frequently the rocks which are just below the water surface (ie no ice) are the best.

I was thinking of the Garfield Trail because of the long, slow incline rather than steep sections on other trails. But the Garfield Ridge Trail sounds too icy.
Are there views into the Pemi near the junction of the two trails?
