Good morning all!!

Let me start by saying I am truly a summer hiker and I think that makes me a wimp LOL

I wanted to get a few more trips in uo north before there was snow. I headed up to Mount Lafayette, from the bottom I saw what looked like lots of ice. Unfortunately I was not able to make the climb the next day (I had my mom with me and she is VERY anti-rain anything....hmmm I wonder where I get my warm weather preference from lol)

I talked to someone in the parking lot and they said the trail was clear.

I had planned on heading up Garfield this weekend...staying at 13 Falls and hiking up Saturday. I don't have any expereince with the ice thing so I was wondering if anyone had been up there recently and could tell me how the conditions are.

I dont want to go into that kind of stuff for the first time by myself. If the trail is clear I am totally game.

Anyways thanks again!!
