One of many ups and downs along the Garfield Ridge Trail

  • Heading uphill again with some exposed rock ahead
  • One of many ups and downs along the Garfield Ridge Trail
  • A small viewpoint on the way to Galehead Hut looking into the Pemi
  • The saddle between the two peaks is where tonight's hut is
  • A closer look that shows part of the hut
  • Galehead Mtn.  The second of two peaks for today
  • For a good distance the trail is pretty gradual.  Slowly gaining elevation as it works along the northern side of Galehead Mtn
  • The view from Galehead Hut.  Time to check in, drop off most of my gear, and do the quick hike up to the peak
  • The lines in the trees are old sled roads from the logging days
  • A steep and rocky section of the short climb to the Galehead Mtn summit
  • The summit in a small opening.  No view from here
  • Miles sits on the summit cairn
  • The trail leading to the small summit area
  • On the way to the summit, there is a viewpoint though
  • From the viewpoint you can see back down to the hut
  • A closer look at the Galehead Hut
  • North Twin is in sight behind the hut
  • It doesn't look like much here, but the hike from the hut up to the summit of South Twin on the right is steep.  It gains 1,100 feet in 0.9 miles
  • North Twin to the left and South Twin to the right from the Galehead view point.  The hut can be seen lower on the left
  • Sun setting on the hut
