"Great weekend in the White mountains! Hit North Twin and South Twin, and made our way to Galehead. Galehead was my friends #48 to finish the NH 4000 footers. From there we hiked to Garfield campsite, next morning hiked to Garfield summit and down and out The Gailriver tail." - blackwolf_03278, Jul 29, 2017
"The original forecast said that it would be clear all day with a possibility for a passing storm in the late afternoon. When I started at 6:30am it was overcast and drizzly, I was hoping that it wouldn't last. The first couple miles are really flat with almost no gain at all. There were three water crossings, two of which I was able to rock hop and one that I was able to use a down tree a little ways up from the marked crossing. The next 2.3 miles were all up hill.

"Awesome day with awesome friends and awesome weather! We started at the hale fire warden bushwhack and headed to north twin in thick cloud cover.

"Doug and I set up a car spot just in case. We did not know what the trail would be like after a recent snow storm. We made our way up past the Fire Warden's Tr then found ourselves breaking trail for the rest of the day. 3rd crossing was not an issue. Usual long hike to reach the summit. We were socked in the clouds on the summit." - newenglandwarrior, Apr 2, 2017
"Beautiful day for a beautiful mountain! I really loved the trail up (avoided most water crossings by taking a well-trodden herd path for the first 2 miles. The last 2.4 miles were steadily steep, but nothing tricky. The near-summit views (just before & just after) were spectacular. Especially loved seeing nearly the entire "Pemi-Loop" from the 2nd viewpoint. " - PJSelmer, Sep 12, 2016
