Comments
Comments: Steve and I enjoyed a wonderful hike and had the trails and summit to ourselves plus a hungry gray jay during our lunch break on Isolation. We appreciated the job Eric's group did the day before when they laid a new track on the Engine Hill bushwhack. They also did the short bushwhack to the Davis Path. On our return we started to break through as the snow had softened up a lot and with continued warm weather this could make the hike quite an undertaking.
