Comments
Comments: Absolutely beautiful day on Saturday. Lots of people out hiking. More than a few groups at Mt Isolation fishing their 48 4ks (#30 for me). Returning back down GBT was a 3 hour knee-wrecker. Would consider Rocky Branch trail for return route next time and either have a car planted there or try my luck hitch hiking back to Glen Falls parking lot. Passed on Rocky Branch trail this time as people said it was a mess and hard to follow in some spots.
