| Trail Maintenance Notes: |
OMG, The Davis Path to the Mount Isolation Spur needs so much LOVE. New drainage, bog bridges, anything really. And the maze of blow downs is unreal. That tricky spot entering above tree line on Glenn Boulder might be better if a ladder was there. It's getting slippery and very sketchy. |

We actually overnighted on Isolation and had a spectacular sunset/rise. The trip out and back makes you work of it going up to 5k and down to 4k on ascent. It was good to split it up with a chilly overnight. |
