| Comments: |
Hiked in to Galehead hut for an over night. Went up / down the Gale River trail. Lots of leaf litter on the ground. Still some color happening but going fast. As of this posting more than likely past peak. The weather was great. Cloudy on hike in. Cleared by the time we summited South Twin. The hike out was also perfect. Clear, calm and cool ( -2C ). The best hiking season ( winter ) is almost here! |
