| Comments: |
Needed light traction descending off slide peak for a part of the ways. The Davis Path has a lot of standing water when getting near Mt. Isolation but was able to rock and log hop over them. Overall it was a good hike and Mt. Isolation is #48 of the 4,000 footers to complete my highest NH peak list. Only met 2 other hikers on this hike. Higher up the wind was brisk and cold but mostly clear and sunny. At lower elevations it was much warmer. |
