| Comments: |
30 plus hikers out and about today so everything is packed down. Trails could be a little choppy with warmer temps over the next few days so it might be wise to lug your snowshoes just in case you start punching through. A great day to be on Isolation, saw lots of familiar faces enjoying the nice day out :) |
