 | Comments: |
Great day for my last of the 48. The trail is a white sidewalk for almost the entire way. That will all change Monday if the forecast is correct so get to it tomorrow if you want an easy trek to Isolation this winter. The bushwacks are tracked out well. A few narrow spots but nothing difficult. We saw a dozen other folks out today, so the trail is very well packed in.
Wore trail spikes end to end. |
