| Comments: |
Glen Boulder Trail was in good shape - mostly dry. Davis Path to Isolation was mostly dry with a few minor mud spots in the usual places. Did the short bushwhack from height of land near North Isolation on Davis Path (just prior to where it starts cutting southwest) to what I assume was the summit of North Isolation - short and not too thick. Davis Path between Mt. Davis and Stairs had some moderate to significant mud in one of the cols, requiring fancy footwork. Some slippery ledge on the upper Stairs Col Trail, otherwise smooth sailing from there out. |
