|
 | Parking/Access Road Notes: |
Talked to hikers arriving later in morning and sounded like Glen Ellis never filled and Rocky Branch only had about 10 cars. At 7:00 P.M. when leaving Rocky Branch lot police did a drive through; nice to see this if you've ever been broken into at a trailhead. |
|
 | Surface Conditions: |
Dry Trail, Wet Trail, Wet/Slippery Rock, Standing/Running Water on Trail, Mud - Minor/Avoidable, Mud - Significant |
|
 | Recommended Equipment: |
|
|
 | Water Crossing Notes: |
All 5 crossings on Rocky Branch were rock hops (steps actually) on dry rocks. Crossings 3 & 4 if going up RBT are avoidable with a short obvious herd path bypassing them. |
|
 | Trail Maintenance Notes: |
New signage at all 3 trail junctions if using the Rocky Branch route. The usual rotting planks on Davis Path and blowdowns up higher; although none of the blowdowns were hard getting through. Lots of evidence of blowdown clearing; thanks to those doing this. |
|
 | Dog-Related Notes: |
No water between last crossing on Glen Boulder and quite a distance down the Davis Path. |
|
 | Bugs: |
Did not bother; but I did use repellant. |
|
 | Lost and Found: |

 | Comments: |
Quiet hike compared to other options today. Can't recall a clearer view day that I've had on Isolation. Trails were wet and muddy in the usual spots but overall conditions drier than normal. |
