Mt. Garfield Hike

 We will be hiking up and down the Garfield Trail (start elevation 1,500 ft.) to the open summit of Mt. Garfield (elevation 4,500 ft.), for a total of 10 miles round trip.  Most of the grading of this trail is moderate, except for the half mile below the summit where it is outstandingly steep.  The summit is bare, and it offers great views on a clear day.  Come prepared for a long day, and bring plenty of water and snacks/lunch.  Also, bring a good weatherproofed jacket, and a light fleece, as it might get chilly up at the summit.  Rain will cancel this event.
