Whole place to ourselves
Curious that we were the only car at the trailhead and saw only 1 other person over a 13 mile loop. Beautiful late fall day. A little windy, but great views from the top.
It was a clear day and the view from the summit was really spectacular.

Garfield & Galehead
The weather held out for a nice climb to the summit. Extremely windy on top! Headed to the Galehead Hut for the night. Great views!

Mount Garfield
Climbed with Galehead via the Garfield Trail from Gale River Road. Beautiful trail leading up to Garfield's rocky and exposed summit. Great views of the Franconias, Twins and of the greater Pemigewasset Wilderness.

Icy in May
Moderate snowpack and the regular freezing and thawing made the steep ascent fun but exciting. Enjoyed a chance to use the crampons in late May.

Mt. Garfield trail
There was still some snow on the higher elevations. It was not a nice well packed down snow either, making things interesting. This was my 20th NH 4000er.

North to Maine
I really don't remember Garfield specifically, but since it's along the Appalachian Trail I must've hiked up it.
Very nice hike. Camped at the Garfield Ridge campsite on my way to Galehead.

Pemmi traverse
Climbed it as part of a four day Pemmi wilderness traverse from Lincoln woods to Crawford notch. This was the first peak of the trip of the trip where the summit wasn't foggy.

Garfield is an amazing summit to me ~ being able to look over and see Lafayette, Lincoln and Little Haystack looming in the distance. I had a clear day with spectacular views on the 4th day of our 5 day adventure. We stopped for over an hour on Garfield and had lunch. As promised, I said hello to my friends "Uncle John" whose ashes had been scattered there years ago.
