Can't get much better. We were able to use microspikes until just below the Davis Path going up. Kudos to those who went before and laid out such a great bushwack and the short wack up the drainage bypassing the blow downs and the camping area. Still much snow so we were walking in the tree branches up high. Snowshoes necessary later in the day as the snow softened. Thanks to Deidra for being with me on my 12th month up Isolation. The white birch glades were beautiful today. |
