Garnet Peak trailhead is located in Gallatin Canyon at the same spot as the Storm Castle trail, but on S side of road. Very good dirt road past USFS helicopter pad after crossing Gallatin R. on an old cement bridge.
   This hike took me about 2 1/2 hours up, hiking steadily. Some nice wildflowers and great views from the top. There is an old hunting blind off to the side from the cabin.
   During elk season you may hear some gunshots.
