BIG thanks to Hiker.Ed, J&J, and their group for doing an amazing job breaking out this hike on Saturday!
Rocky Branch was well packed to the bushwhack entrance and apparently beyond.
Engine Hill bushwhack was well packed.
Isolation Trail was well packed. A bushwhack was used up high to reach the Davis Path slightly faster than via sticking on trail (though the kosher way appeared to be broken out, though it may have meandered from the trail a bit).
Davis Path had a slight bit of drifting, but was otherwise well packed. Lots of branches in the face! |
