Nathaniel Goodrich and C.W. Blood

garfieldmd2.jpgIn Sept. 1914 a party consisting of C.W. Blood, H.B. Goodrich, P.R. Jenks, F.N. Crawford and E.H. Lorenz camped at Hawthorne Fall to prospect a trail from Lafayette over Garfield to S. Twin. Rain limited operations , but the section of Garfield to S.Twin was thoroughly examined and some trail work done. In August 1915 Blood, Jenks and Lorenz went in again, with N.L. Goodrich and G. Blaney. The section from Garfield Pond to S. Twin was blazed to the foot of S. beginning of the rise up S. Twin, and some clearing was done. The section from Garfield Pond to timber line on Lafayette was prospected, through very difficult country. Later in August Jenks went in again with axe-men, and finished clearing the section from Garfield to the rise up S. Twin. The latter bit is to be done this fall, completing the the Garfield - S. Twin section.

The trail up Garfield from Gale River has been re-opened by the U.S. Forest Service. It is not provided with signs. For information, apply to Mr. Kimball, the Ranger in charge of the district.
