Driving directions to the location and spot to meet at: Take I-93 to exit 36, Route 3 towards Twin Mountain.

Take the Gale River RD to the Garfield Trail parking area...I don't know if there is a parking fee.
Trip Report/Photos

This mid November day brought great weather. The open alpine summit was bathed in sun shine and little wind. We made excellent time. 3.5 hr up and 3 hr down. Microspikes were a plus for this trip. The beers and bon fire was a blast
