So, after Madison (caretaker) I stayed at Mizpah Spring. From there it was 13.5 miles Zealand Falls and then on the 20th Sept I hiked to Garfield Ridge tent site and hung out with caretaker (Steve) and stayed dry in his large tent on platform for 3 nights. On the night before I headed south, we summited Garfield for the sunset.
With snow falling around the fall equinox, despite hanging out at Garfield, I really needed to push south. Snow on Lafayette was part of the fun
