Sep 03, 2017 — Mount Garfield is the name of the promontory outside of Palisade, Colorado that is visible from Interstate 70. A trail leads to the high point, which overlooks the area. The trailhead is very popular. I started along the hard-packed trail leading up one of the fingers of the eroding mesa. The trail was relatively steep and had some light boulder-hopping obstacles. After the initial ascent the trail traversed along a sandy bench, heading west. The elevation gain became less of a push since the route more slowly ascended to the rim above. The trail side-hilled along the steep and eroded face and then upp to the rim. Once on the rim, the trail led calmly to the summit of Mount Garfield. There are really nice views of the cliffs that extend north from the summit.
