As others reported, the trails and bushwhacks were well packed. We used micros car to car, snowshoes didn't get a ride today. The Engine Hill bushwhack came down a bit early but was well packed and an easy travel. The track on Isolation Trail went a bit off the trail and came out on the Davis Path midway between the sign and the normal drainage bushwhack. It was nice to run into Guy and Gary on Davis Path and Big Earl and Dave Bear on our way down. Bruce needed North Peak so we continued down Davis Path to bag this peak before heading back. This trail was less traveled but still solid under a dusting of snow. Lots of blowdowns on this section. |
