Blow downs not an issue but because of the deep snow up top signs and trail markers seem to be "missing". Also the deep snow puts ones head in the upper untrimmed branches. Lots of ducking and retreiving of my hat. |

Spectacular day. No clouds and no wind. Spent more than an hour on top in a base layer. Nice to meet Little Brown Mushroom and congrats to One Slow Hiker for finishing his 48th today. You're an inspiration. Also met and hiked with two great guys whose names escape me.... Now would be a great time to visit Isolation. Trail was firm in the morning but was getting soft with the sun and warm temps. |
