Lots of standing water on the upper section of Rocky Branch Trail, and Isolation Trail, but largely avoidable with careful steps across well-placed rocks. A significant amount of blowdowns on the Isolation Trail near the junction with Davis Path, but some maintenance has been done so the trail can still be easily followed. |

| Comments: |
We did this as a 2-day trip and spent the night near Isolation Trail / Davis Path junction. We saw a number of folks heading down Rocky Branch Trail on Saturday afternoon after doing the traverse from Glen Boulder. All the water crossings were manageable, and the bugs overall weren't too bad. It was a gorgeous weekend to be out. |
