Long hike, trail difficult to follow in places; A couple of hikers went about 45 mins before us and started the bushwack... They went a little higher than was needed up to 3600' vs. heading straight along the 3200' line.. Had to backtrack a bit to get onto the isolation trail. The bushwack that we did is packed in, but a bit more climbing is needed. Recommend others keep an eye on elevation and stay along the 3200' line. Made for a bit more challenging hike... Was a long day... Started at 7:45a and ended at 5:05p. Overall, very nice weather a bit warm toward the end which made for soft conditions. |
