| Comments: |
Earlier start allowed for 3 1/2 hour stay at summit. Perfect weather, awesome views and nice conversation. Odds of keeping feet dry is much better currently. Davis Path section basically dry. Wet areas along Isolation and Rocky Branch trails. Lots of leaves on Rocky Branch. Hiked here today to catch this route at its best. Still many wet or muddy spots waiting to grab a shoe but can't imagine this route gets any drier. Nice time to hit this if doing Rocky Branch route. |
